Can someone tell me more about their UCLA rejection? I've had my heart broken by many a late rejection this cycle because of my late-in-the-alphabet last name. If you're received a rejection from UCLA and don't mind, please DM me the first letter of your last name so I can have some evidence about whether or not I'm going to hear later today or tomorrow. Thanks!!!

I love this thread. So much hope!

They just want to see how many it takes to break you.

We didn't need them and their weirdly shaped buildings anyway.

I think you need to screenshot your offers from Brown, MIT, Yale and NYU and send them directly to the DGS at Harvard

Womp. MIT ;_;

Holy shit guys! Congrats!!!

Well? NYU acceptances?

Nat, did you call the department directly? I would think they would be more helpful than the central admissions

Nah, I posted about MIT. Wish I had info on Michigan, hopefully soon!

Hey friends. I'm planning trips to visit the schools where I'm WL. I'm a little concerned that it's going to feel like a 48 hr interview. Any tips or thoughts re: visiting while WL would be helpful

I've worked in admissions before and having a deposit to secure your spot is normal. It's to prevent people from telling schools they're coming and then not showing up. I expect the department will cover it, you should check in with whichever school you're planning to attend. p.s. Good of you to decline early. You're going to make many a wait lister very happy

You're going to make so many WLsters happy when you choose a school. Must be nice!

I don't even have words for the venting I need right now. ;adjksfa;lsdfjaoei;jfaeokjfsdlkfjadlksjfdksjfaljf;akds hem hem. ok, I'm feeling a bit better.

I can't do anything rn. I'm basically a sloth. A sloth that has a full-time course schedule and a part-time job #neglectingresponsibilities

jesus christ, now THAT is torture.

Say it ain't so!!!! Why would you even mention that awful alternative

yes. Edit: wait a sec, I remember this joke going over poorly last time...

Man, CUNY is taking their sweet, sweet time to make more calls!

I assume CUNY calls are just going slowly?

ugh;dafjla;dfs I'm out of upvotes!!! congrats dudeee

@svent hey folks, just starting to look into housing near ucsb. I've heard goleta is a good place to start. I was wondering if you could tell me what it's like there... is there a main street or a happening few blocks? I currently live in a full blown city so I'm looking to find an apartment on or near a busy street (cafes, movie theaters, bars, shopping), and was wondering if there's anything equivalent there.

yeah, I"m surprised, they're normally very quick with their rejections. there's another poster on here currently at UNC who said all of their offers have gone out.

agreed, but also it implies that the standard excellent candidate you are describing is default male... and therefore not female.

my first thought
