Just saw the news. Our D was rejected, but we weren't surprised by this; it was a long shot but I encouraged her to give it a go anyway.

I do hope some of you will post your good news! Some of you will be accepted, surely!

Cuspider, I was rejected from Penn. I almost cried not because I was rejected from Penn, but this was my first college rejection letter. Just HORRIBLE. However,I've been accepted to Northwestern. I don't care that NU is not an Ivy League. I can strive for Ivy League schooling for graduate studies. NU is a good school!

Rejected (from Brown, too), but in at Stanford and waiting on Princeton and Harvard.

yale seems more selective than the numbers say... if all of us have been rejected. I propose to riot the campus. ;)

By Jk9903 (Jk9903) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 06:47 pm: Edit

By Fish3715 (Fish3715) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 06:55 pm: Edit

That's what it seems, cuspidor (a lot of people were rejected on the PR message board as well. It seems almost nobody got in).

By Cuspidor (Cuspidor) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 07:03 pm: Edit

Then let's schedule the riot.. down with yale! hehe

waitlisted...going to ucla instead

By Tangclan (Tangclan) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 07:06 pm: Edit

Another one, except that Stanford was my first choice and I got rejected on my 18th birthday for that. Rejected at MIT as well. Completely screwed.

I'll be hiding at Cornell. Heard college life there sucks, esp. for engineering.

By Critical (Critical) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 11:51 pm: Edit

Got rejected from Yale too. it was my first choice and the only school I liked with my major-history of medicine. I cried.

Damn, my mom just found out she got rejected. That's so sad!

They emailed me a non-working login/password so I still don't know!

By Cbm (Cbm) on Thursday, April 03, 2003 - 12:42 am: Edit

My son was waitlisted at Yale and Wharton(Penn). Was deffered at Stanford ED, but ultimately rejected there. Great kid, great stats. Never thought he would get into all three, but thought he would get into one.

By Chronoshock (Chronoshock) on Thursday, April 03, 2003 - 12:48 am: Edit

In at Yale but I don't think I'm going (MIT all the way)

Our daughter was accepted at Yale regular decision, along with EA acceptances at Harvard, Georgetown, and UChicago. Haven't heard from RD Stanford yet though.

Rejected.

By Meister122 (Meister122) on Thursday, April 03, 2003 - 11:03 pm: Edit

When I got rejected early I called and they told me that they had already accepted their early decision applicant (emphasis on the sigular)from my state (Michigan)when they reviewed my application, so basically it was impossible to get in this year. A friend with three generations of legacy, an unwieghted 4.1 in the hardest classes, and amazing tennis achievements didn't even get waitlisted regular too...

By Nasar (Nasar) on Friday, April 04, 2003 - 06:04 am: Edit

rejected, i'm international and will be going to NWU/ WashU/ UC Berkeley

what i don't get is this...
according to Yale's stats, they accepted 410 applicants with verbal SATs 200-400, 213 applicants with math SATs 200-400

a handful of them must be Olympic champions, but 400 Olympic champs/ musical geniuses?? why is Yale accepting 400+ applicants with such abysmal scores while rejecting thousands of 1500+ applicants?

i know SAT scores don't mean anything, but getting anything less than 400 for either M/V is pretty unacceptable for any college, let alone Yale...

By Hildegard (Hildegard) on Friday, April 04, 2003 - 06:58 am: Edit

Where did you read that? Could you post the URL?

My personal opinion is that if that really is the case, besides Olympic champions and musical geniuses, there may be hundreds of students who have outstanding situations.

Let's say, children who live in deep poverty; i.e. father=alcoholic, mother=dead, no guidance, no opportunities, yet show incredible courage and strength and determination to succeed; they might get in based on what they've done, based on their situations. You can't expect the same accomplishments from an applicant who has mom, dad, car, money, college paid, and all his/her extra time to create a mega-resume, than someone who has no mom, hardly a dad, no money for anything, works full time to pay rent and tuition, while in school full time, one EC's, etc.

Like those, I imagine there must be lots of cases. I'm sure that schools want to have people who have overcome adversity and have shown incredible determination and due to their disadvantaged position couldn't do wonders with their scores. Those people are much more mature for their age and bring a lot of real-life knowledge into the campus that normal children don't have.

By Cuspidor (Cuspidor) on Friday, April 04, 2003 - 08:46 am: Edit

Nasar, those number where for the number of applicants, not acceptances. If you add all the ranges up, you obtain the initial number of applicants they gave you.
