exsequarAlright guys it's rant time.
I got wait listed at Amherst too.
WHAT THE FUCK?! I have been a perfect student for my entire life, my GPA is a 4.45 out of 4.5, I'm on the varsity soccer team, ive done dance for three years, ive taken several art classes beyond the requirement, ive been in four AP classes, I'm a national merit finalist, i won a math competition in 10th grade, i starred in a play also in 10th grade, i volunteered at a hospital for a summer, and ive done other stuff too.
BUT THEY DON'T WANT ME. I'm not fucking GOOD enough for them. My entire life all i've been able to count on is that I would always do well academically. School is "my thing," it's the only thing that makes me special. So I naturally thought that I would get into a good college. but NO. I got into TWO SCHOOLS. That's probably the least in the entire fucking grade except for people who got in Early Decision. And the school that it looks like I'm going to, two of the dumbest people in our class ALSO got in there. I am so humiliated. I hate myself right now. This was such a huge step in my life and I fucking blew it. I should have applied to more schools or written a better essay or SOMETHING.
I just want to curl up into a ball and die.

Date: 2005-04-02 09:56 pm (UTC)Getting placed on the wait list means that if, after they've heard from all the people they accepted, there are still places open in the class, they'll start accepting people off of the wait list. So it's not a rejection. But you have to enroll somewhere else just in case you don't get in from a wait list, and you lose your enrollment deposit if you do get in and have to switch schools. I also now have to start writing letters and making telephone calls to try to get them to accept me. And I won't find out until mid-May to mid-June. Erg.
