Mad Depressing...

oh no, your life is ruined! kill yourself now, you'll never amount to anything!

 

come on dude.
if that was not your destiny then that was not your destiny. you'll go to college and you'll be happy.

 

Where else did you apply?

 

That sucks...I would have loved to go to Columbia too (even though I never applied, it was high on my list).

 

dude, how about some tact. at least ask for pics of said suicide.

 

columbia? why would u wanna go all the way over there, its the drug capital of the world................oh...hehe...i see.

 

Hey, if you are applying to multiple schools, one rejection, though hard, doesn't kill the entire effort.

I applied five schools in the past few months, got more rejections than admissions. However, my top school, Duke, admitted me. That's the one I wanted more than all others, and that's all I needed.

Hang in there, buddy. You might end up in a better place than you originally thought.

 

That suck but you gotta look at the bright side. They just saved you $40,000 a year for the next four to five years.

 

is Devastating Blow the president ??? That f*cker... so... what did he say...?

 

Come to UT! It may not be in the same class as Columbia but its fun!

haha

 

My only regret was jumping right into an expensive 4-year school. I'd do all my core curriculum at a community college...ah, would've saved so much money for my parents.

 

I felt like **** after I got the waitlist letter from Georgetown too. But on the whole, I'm kind of glad because I love UT and also I'm loving the money that I saved.

It was pretty much Georgetown or UT for me, and I think I picked the right one to be honest.

 

Sorry to hear that, brother.

Give Cornell a shot - they'll let anyone in.

 

UT Brownsville has open admissions...although you may need to take some remedial courses...Hey...Right next to Mexico and just down the road from SPI...Lots of latina women...

 

Sorry to hear that man. I hated college admissions so much and I know what you're going through. I applied to a bunch of other schools and didn't get in to some of those. Seriously, it's not the end of the world and you'll enjoy wherever you go.

I know I say that and it won't mean anything to you but you'll realize that eventually. I remember one day I got deferred/rejected from Georgetown and Brown and those were the only two schools I cared about at that point.

You'll be fine. College is fun wherever you go. (unless its somewhere like BYU, *shudder*)

 

I know man, its such a b****. Three of us applied to Georgetown my year. Two got in and one of them had lower grades and a lower SAT score than me and her extra-currics weren't exactly stellar either. Maybe she wrote some incredible essay.

But if there's one thing you'll realize, college admissions are a damned crapshoot. Literally, you have admissions people looking at hundreds of apps for two minutes each and making split second judgments. Seriously, its a messed up system that screws over qualified applicants all the time.

To give you an example, I got into WashU, UCLA, UT, UNC, but got straight up rejected from Emory which made no sense since Emory is easier to get into than those other schools.

Thankfully, most grad school application processes are much more transparent and objective.

 

Buck up. At least you're in the game. When I graduated HS, I had no clue about college and just sleepwalked to UNT. By the time I figured things out, I got accepted to some pretty good grad schools.

I envy you as you are way ahead of where I was at this stage.

Wherever you end up, you'll have a good time and get a good education.

Just remember, college is a journey and it's not about what degree you get or what classes you take or how well you prepare yourself for a career or how your school is perceived. It's mostly about self-discovery.

Man, please enjoy the coming years.
