College and university denial (and acceptance) letters are coming in right about now (at least in the U. States). To keep in with the spirit of the times, post every college/university that you received a rejection/denial letter from, along with the number of places you applied to (or have heard back from so far, if you're going through this right now).
Starting off:
Denied from University of California at Los Angeles
Denied from University of California at San Diego
Denied from Harvey Mudd College
Well, ****.
-
That kind of sucks.
In Ireland the government pays for third level institutions.
Once you have the necessary points from final school exams (leaving certificate)
-
Yeah, the american system is wacky. Here it's purely about academic performance when getting in from high school. They have 10 places, the ten highest TEE scores get them. Simple.
-
I only applied to one school and I got in.
-
I was rejected from Towson University because I was accepted somewhere else but I still gots the letter! I save all my stuff.
-
Applied only to Kansas State University. Accepted less than three days later. Wondering how the post got there and back so quickly.
-
I only applied to the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, to both of which I got accepted within the first week of them sending out letters. :nervous:
In all fairness, I would've applied to and gotten rejected from MIT if I had the time to go through their crazy application process.
-
we dont need no stinkin' universitys
-
I've not been denied to any school I've applied to, though I did once send a request for application to the University of Michigan. I never got that application... :p

Ies............. :nervous:

I was accepted by Maryland and rejected by Princeton for undergrad. I think I applied to one or two others but don't remember what happened now. I wasn't considering any other place seriously.
For grad school (applied math), I was accepted by Princeton, NYU, Harvard and Maryland, and rejected by Caltech and MIT. The graduate applications are easier to do since they all ask for the same things, and you can submit the same essays to everyone.
-
For my undergraduate, I was rejected from MIT (which I honestly expected) and Johns Hopkins (which royally pissed me off at the time), and accepted by Rochester, Carnegie Mellon, and Delaware. The latter was definitely the best fit for me.

Yeah, but that was more than balanced out by the crippling anxiety of wondering what I would do with my life if I didn't get into grad school.

Applied to Clemson, UNC Charlotte and NC State, accepted at all. Clemson and UNCC came back quickly with lots of scholarship money. I was the last at my high school to hear back from NC State, and they didn't give me any money. :( I was never really seriously considering the other two. Their engineering flat out doesn't compare. UNCC was fallback, Clemson was to appease my mom, who went there.
-
Lancaster University, applied for 3 courses, received 3 Unconditional Offers with £1,000 Scholarship and £1,000 Bursary
University of Central Lancashire, applied for 2 courses, received 2 Unconditional Offers
Planning on accepting one of the former.
-
I applied to the University of Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma University, and the University of Houston. I got accepted at all 4, with money at OU and UH. I think I also applied to Rice and Cal Tech, both of which turned me down. I expected Cat Tech to, but I was (and honestly I still am) royally pissed that Rice turned me down. I think it ultimately was a good thing, but still...
So, I followed the money and went to OU... for a year and a half. Then I couldn't stand it anymore and moved to College Station to finish my undergrad at Texas A&M.
For grad school, we applied at A&M and at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Both offered Research Assistanceships that took care of tuition and fees and left a little bit over to live off. She got an NSF fellowship, so she could go where ever she jolly well felt like. I've had a decade to get over it, but I still kick myself every time I think about our decision to go to UIUC. "Publish or perish" has turned that entire college into a black pit of misery, despair, and self-loathing. Stay away. Not all graduate programs are like this.
-
I got accepted everywhere i applied :nervous:
then again I ran out of money after a year and had to drop out, so that clearly went well :sigh:
-
Applied at A&M and Texas Tech, got accepted at both, and am studying at A&M at the moment.
-

I applied to that a couple of times but didn't get it. I believe nobody got it in the math/analysis category during those years, so maybe the NSF doesn't like my field. :p I wanted it more for the prestige though, as I get a higher stipend anyway without it.

Wait what? I'm going to A&M right now!
-
OP's request:
1.)
2.) UTas, got in easily. Australia is a good place to live regarding this kind of thing...
-
What are you studying Enigmatic Entity? I know there's at least one Tassie uni that has a really top knotch geology program, but I cannever remember which one it is.
-
I think there should also be a thread that says what college you went to (are going to, will be going to)
-
Heh, ask and ye shall receive, in HLP. My luck has been awful so far mainly because of my lack of extracurricular work. Lesson #6 to teach my future kids, I guess.

BE - Engineering at Hobart. I think there's only on University as such, UTas, but three campuses Interestingly I have a Maths tutorial in a Geography room, you'd think they'd have enough Maths rooms?
-
I've been denied from UCSD now. Fun fun fun.
Come on, guys. There's got to be more denials than this. Are you saying that I'm the only failure on these forums? Or are you all just too afraid to admit your scholarly incompetence?
-
Nope, we are all winnars.

Something will turn up!
If not...................... id like fries with that please :p

The university i went to takes anybody. You got money, you get to go. They love your money. I've seen so many ****ups at UAF. They go there for a semester, fail, and never come back. Retards don't care about wasting thousands of dollars in a semester i suppose. But, there's less expensive vacations that they can consider if they're up there not for passing. Then again, retards don't evaluate goals.
UAF, good university in the whole when you are up there for graduating. The other side of the coin is that it's nothing like harvard in respect to the fact that the american school system is big on not teaching you about certain things and counts on that for herding the sheeple. So, compared to someone who went to harvard who will get an opportunity to learn all the things the government wont tell you, i'm just a conspiracy theorist.
-
Well, now my parents forbid me from going to college/uni.
Shit.
-
You're better off. College is a vast left wing conspiracy.
-

Shit.
:wtf:
Why?
That's the opposite of every kid's parents in my entire community.
-
They think I'm a lazy piece of **** with no drive to learn anything. They're only half right, since I actually do have a drive to learn something.
Well, I guess I'm on my own. So, where should I apply to work at? I'll have a diploma but I won't be 18 until August. I need university money really badly because I won't get jack **** from my parents.
-
Work for a really big corporation that will help with college tuition. Also, FAFSA. Apply as an independent.

If your marks are good, then how do they doubt your ability to learn?

Alternately, an Expected Family Contribution of zero nets a few grand. At least, it did for me.
-
That's filing as an independent.
-
No it isn't. :P
I filed mine as a dependent with an EFC of zero.
-
"Computer says no"

-
Interesting. Because when I did mine, in the beginning survey for determining dependency status there was the question "is your EFC 0?"
-
Heh, I did everything on the FAFSA website, including the depenency form on the site itself. Nothing like that question there.
-
Ditto. One of us is wrong.
I propose fisticuffs.
-
Tell ya what, if you can find the question that asks that on the form (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/FOTWWebApp/fotw1011/WorksheetServlet?locale=en_US&wstype=WSDEP), I'll admit I was wrong.
(It isn't there, but you can look if it makes you feel better)
-
Did FAFSA, Cal Grant, etc. already, but it doesn't pay for everything.
Anyway, I was just denied from Harvey Mudd. Guess that's the end of me.
-
FAFSA said I only qualify for loans. Ugh.
-
zach are you matriculated? if so ask your department advisor about applying for the department scholarships. in mine there was a really quick elegibility form and that's it.
