Poll of the Day > God, being rejected from colleges is a knife to the heart.

(+) Yeah! (+)

....especially when everyone around you is getting in all over the place. (Seriously, my friend has gotten into both Amherst (A big one I wanted), Tulane and Cornell.

I have achieved so much. Straight As. Officer in both honors clubs. 100 hour internship. Honored at the state house. Five honors courses completed. Non-traditional student returning back to school outside of the classical age.

I mean, I pull heavy weight here and I've not gotten into any institution at all except Suffolk in Boston, which wasn't a serious grab.

Today, I got my rejection letter from Wellesley which was the top of my list.

I just don't know how I could possibly do better than I have been. I've worked so damn hard for this. I dunno what I am going to do now.

Yea MA is extremely competitive

In regards to Amherst (Umass or Amherst College?) either way just apply as a transfer. If you have decent grades your first year (or even semester) you are guaranteed into UMass I know that

Amherst college tho... ugh

It was Amherst. I live in Mass, so I want one here. I love Massachusetts.

I did apply for uMass. I expect to get into there since my GPA is a >3.9. I have a friend there too, which is nice.

Yeah though, they only accepted 18/450 students and my friend was one of those 18. It's crazy. God, I wanted Wellesley. ;_;

Literally all I have left is Boston University and the uMasses. I am thinking of going somewhere for a semester and to try and re-apply with Wellesley for the Spring now that my Massasoit transcript will be complete and more "full" with everything. I hate that these applications are done mid-term. There's so much shit I left out that I did this semester. :/
