Hey who dares to compare number of rejections with me?

I got rejected to all the schools i applied, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Caltech.

All rejections. No waitlists.
I did all of my best, but get rewarded by "we are sorry to tell you that we are unable to offer you admission to class of 2007."

Oh, god!

I feel my eyes are been filled with tears now.

You will not get in next year. Try a school not so hard to get into.

Aren't there any school in the country that you live in? If you can't go to college this year, Canadian school are still accepting applications.

yeah apply to a lower level US or Canadian college, work your ass off, get a 4.0 with a rigorous schedule and you may be able to transfer

hi Kelly,

why i can't get in next year?

I'll do my absolute best to boost all the stuff up.
and apply to some more colleges.

There are schools in my country, but i haven't took the national exam to get in(i though i can get in US college this year, what an idiot i am).

Canada?

i don't know much about that country and its colleges.

Nyguy,

thanks, i'll do my very BEST, i will.

It is very difficult to get in as an international student and twice as difficult as an international transfer student. You need to be more than specatacular and your stats are lower than all of the US kids who apply to those shools. Apply to lesser US schools and then transfer after two years.
Collegeboard offers school searches based on deadlines so you can still check there.

most enzymes are proteins, and amylase is used to digest sugar (amyloplast?) lol, i slept through my ap bio class.

By Amylase (Amylase) on Thursday, April 03, 2003 - 01:33 am: Edit

Amylase, first secreted by salivary glands in the mouth, break starch into maltose.

maltose furthur digested in small intestine by enzyme maltase. small intestine also secrete amylase to break down carbohydrates.

back to topic,

you think college use double standards for second time applicants?
