un jour le bonheur vous trahit

[theladyrose]

I've been rejected by Harvard and Columbia; I'll hear back from Stanford tomorrow afternoon but I'm not hopeful at all.

Edit: I've also been rejected by Brown. Ah well.

Another edit: Make that four rejections; Stanford rejected me, too.

So much for trying not to disappoint my family. But I really shouldn't be complaining as I do have some nice choices as is. Really, there are many many many worse things that could be going on, and there's no point in wasting my time over things that I can't control anymore. I should stop making such a fuss about this.

Last edit: So overall, I'm deciding amongst Wellesley, USC and Scripps.

P.S. Sophia, thanks for the Victoria Holt novel; I could really use it. Hopefully I'll start it this weekend.

Harvard et Columbia ne sont pas "le bonheur" :)

and you are still, somehow, and amazing person. Wanna go to Wellesley with me? Also, call me, immediately.

i'm sorry to hear that. you are, however, still a very keen person. that may not sound like much, but it is true.

i'll keep my fingers crossed on the remaining two schools.

Your welcome for the Holt. You'll love it. It's one of the more captivating ones (not that they aren't all captivating), but this one really takes you to a new world. Be prepared though, it's much more risque...

I'm sorry on college. Please tell me about Brown! (And Stanford tomorrow.)

I'm so sorry to hear that honey. You totally deserved to get into Harvard and the like. But I'm sure that wherever you go you will do fantastically well and enjoy yourself.
Hang in there and chin up! :-)

Well... at least you don't have my mother... She kinda crshed though when I told her that you can order Harvard T-shirts through their webshop. :)

But at least you have a choice. In Hungary, you go to the first place that gets you, pronto. No time to think about what to accept, where to apply etc. One chance. :(

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. But I'm sure they're fantastically overrated anyway, and you'll end up someplace great :) Especially with the awesome scholarships. Your family has to be proud of those!
Columbia rejected me, too, actually. Harvard as well, though applying there was my father's pet idea :)
