Class of '06 - Where Are You Applying

[Dorienne]

I got accepted to Towson University...
I didn't end up applying to Villa Julie College, so yeah.
I changed majors, I want to do Deaf Studies and possibly Education. Unsure yet with Education.

So yes, I am very happy. Now onto scholarships up to my eyeballs!

[Li Jianliang]

I just might attend UC Davis so that I can say, "I got a FIRST scholarship to this school!" Berkeley might be out of my reach financially, and I'd only attend WPI if they gave me a full-ride tuition scholarship. At my current standpoint, my parents are pushing me toward UW.

Applied and Accepted to:
University of California - Davis
University of Washington
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Oregon State University
University of Oregon

...and Still Waiting for:
University of California - Berkeley

[MikeJ675]

UPDATE:

Rejected by Swarthmore and wait-listed by Johns Hopkins
Now I'm really nervous about getting a letter from UVA (my first choice)
It makes you mad to see all of your hard work on college apps given back to you in a single letter, but I those two weren't high on the list, and I have admission to VA Tech and UDel, both great schools that I am seriously considering.

Keep the updates coming!!

-Chris

edit:
couldn't get into Cornell either!! still waiting for UVA...

[Bridgette]

I was rejected from Tufts today, but it really doesn't bother me. Now I have to choose between URI and Northeastern - it's a tough decision.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Summary so far:

MIT - Denied
Yale - Denied
Purdue - Accept
U Mich - Accept
Northwestern - Accept
Cornell - Waitlist
Stanford - ???

I leave you with this...

Dear Admissions Committee:
Having reviewed the many rejection letters I have received in the last few weeks, it is with great regret that I must inform you I am unable to accept your rejection at this time.
This year, after applying to a great many colleges and universities, I received an especially fine crop of rejection letters. Unfortunately, the number of rejections that I can accept is limited.
Each of my rejections was reviewed carefully and on an individual basis. Many factors were taken into account - the size of the institution, student-faculty ratio, location, reputation, costs and social atmosphere.
I am certain that most colleges I applied to are more than qualified to reject me. I am also sure that some mistakes were made in turning away some of these rejections. I can only hope they were few in number.
I am aware of the keen disappointment my decison may bring. Throughout my deliberations, I have kept in mind the time and effort it may have taken for you to reach your decision to reject me.
Keep in mind that at times it was necessary for me to reject even those letters of rejection that would normally have met my traditionally high standards.
I appreciate your having enough interest in me to reject my application. Let me take the opportunity to wish you well in what I am sure will be a successful academic year.
SEE YOU IN THE FALL!
Sincerely,
Paul Devlin
Applicant at Large

Update: Rejected by UC Berkeley. Woo-hoo! One less decision to make! Seriously, my parents are strung over whether I should attend UW or UC Davis (read: which one they can afford), and I personally will make the decision on the last day of April. XDDD

[Daniel Morse]

Applied early to:
WPI-accepted
RPI-accepted

Applied for WPI design innovation scholarship, waiting to hear on that one, because that decides it for me. If I don't get it, I'm going to RPI, if I do, I'm going to WPI.

[Levin571]

McGill- Acceptance
Brandeis- Acceptance
North Eastern- Acceptance
GW- Acceptance

Brown- Waitlist
Wash U. in St. Louis- Waitlist

Emory- Still waiting

Yale- Rejection

[Levin571]

I've decided that I am going to stay on the Wash U. waitlist (It is only 18 hours away by car ), but now I have to decide between McGill and Brandeis so anyone got any advice?

(I am going into international business)

Brandeis I would be hopefully doing a 5 year BM/MBA but there are no gaurentees that one will get into that program during their junior year.

McGill I got into their International Business Managment program but switching out of it is not recommended (if i were to switch majors).

Once again, any advice would be much appreciated

Applied:
Vanderbilt-Accepted with an absurd amount of need based aid. Now I must go see this. I was not planning on getting in here.
Syracuse-Accepted, lots of merit, some unmet need. This is where I want to go, and I don't think I will change my mind.
University of Delaware-Accepted, haven't heard about aid, was my first choice for a brief moment, but not any more.
Penn State-Accepted, no money, not even in loans. Can't possible afford it.
Uconn-Accepted, Aid pretty good, too close to home.
West Virginia- Accepted, but safety school.
University of Vermont-Accepted, but safety school.
Duke-Pending, I hope I don't get in so I don't have to worry about it.

Summary, I want to go to SU, I don't want to change my mind, I don't want to worry about the ranking of Vanderbilt's engineering department.

Congratulations to ever one on their acceptances, on your rejections, well I am sure you will have somewhere else to go.
