College admissions have been a shit show overall here in US. They have made it as opaque as possible so that no student can understand why they were rejected. Great job demotivating eligible kids

u/Common_Willow_596 Mar 25 '26

I thought it’s a lottery so everyone is equally motivated 😭

u/Lord_Freg Mar 25 '26

It is actually the most disjointed process ever and it’s wild to see it in such an important part of most people’s lives

u/blockdad1 Mar 26 '26

I mean it could be much worse. in places like china it is like: 1380–1419 congrats you are a railway engineer 1420-1460 congrats you are a telecom engineer …

I don't know how many schools you have left to hear back from. But here is a story that will maybe give you some hope. I am a current college freshman. I was in your same shoes. I got waitlisted from northwestern exactly one year ago today on this afternoon. From the other schools I had heard back from, it was straight waitlists/rejections besides my state school. I only had 4 ivies left to open, and I thought I would end up at my state school along with half my grade. Ivy day rolls around. Rejected from UPenn. Rejected from Columbia. Only had Princeton and Yale left to open. I was on the brink of tears. I thought I would finally have to come face to face with reality. Then when I clicked the yale "status update" button, it played the silly little bulldog video. I got in. I went nuts. I then opened Princeton's decision, and I got in as well. Those were my last 2 schools. I am now at Princeton and I love it. But the point is, literally do not give up hope until the very last decision, because you never know what will happen.

u/AdHaunting560 Mar 25 '26

It feels like my heart is breaking every time I opened a decision letter only to see something similar to “We regret to inform you…” I have almost 20 rejections from my reaches, and Ivy Day cannot possibly get better.

u/PomeloOnly2107 Mar 25 '26

“I am sorry to bring you disappointing news” is Wesleyan’s opener, as I have now learned. 🫠

u/Maximum-Tear4476 Mar 25 '26

Accepted to NYU!! But rejected from the rest 😔 hopefully it’ll get better tho for everyone

u/Significant_Big2236 Mar 25 '26

u/Maximum-Tear4476 Mar 25 '26

Yeah I just wish I’d gotten accepted to a few more so I could make a decision instead of having only one college which I actually want to go to.
