I was accepted to Western Michigan University, Central Michigan University, and Michigan State University. I have yet to decide where to go, unfortunately, and I am at a loss as of which to choose frankly.

I went to WPI for a year. I applied to three places and was accepted at two. Wesleyan didn't want me, boo hoo. WPI offered me crazy good money, I suspect it was a combination of my girlity (they're more than 3:1 male:female) and my 35 on the ACT. I hated the place, though. I hadn't figured out what I wanted, who can when they're 18? I shouldn't've been there to begin with. Now I'm serving time at the local CC until I can save enough money to go to my new target school (Hampshire College) for my new target major (Linguistics).
Congrats on Cornell, Syterion. I've got friends who went and they loved the place. The campus is absolutely beautiful, as well. Do you know what you're going to major in?

I applied to UVA (I've been a UVA partisan since a young age), William and Mary (it's a good school and in-state; I thought I'd give it a fair look), and Harvard (just because I could). Accepted at UVA and W&M, waitlisted at Harvard (declined to be put on the list). So I'm here at UVA now. I can't complain.

Jeeeeeebus. You got into some good schools. There's an uber-prep kid at my school who would kill his mom to go to Amherst. Probably will end up going there too.
Me personally, I don't really care where I go to school. I applied to 3 places. Portland State University, University of Oregon, and Oregon State University.
I've been accepted at Portland State University. University of Oregon people have told me that I basically will be accepted, but those lazy bastards haven't sent me the letter yet that would make it official. Haven't heard anything yet from OSU.
Not that I want to go to OSU anyway, as it's really close to where I live, and I'd like to escape that, if only a little bit. I would most prefer to go to University of Oregon, but Portland State is tempting, what with the city atmosphere and all...

I got rejected from most of my schools. I blame myself for letting senioritis get to me. All I needed was to take 1 more sat II and I woulda most likely gotten into at least one of my reach colleges.
My friend got into nyu with 3 points less than my average, no APs, didnt even break 2000 in the SAT, a 500 on one SAT II, and probably no where near my extra curricular. I've been called a genius and won awards from the internship programs I've enrolled in. I got a fregging offer to work at merrill lynch. I was freggin interviewed on tv, and appeared on tv as an honor guest marching in the Indian independence parade in down town ny. I directly helped campaign for a democratic mayor candidate, I appeared on tv with him. My recs were incredible, my debate teacher said the rec he wrote me was the best one he's ever written, and the last guy he wrote recs for is in standford.
But no, the one thing I lacked was a strong finish. By missing 1 sat 2 score, colleges will look at everyone with 2 scores b4 they even get to me. And I didn't apply to half of my schools because I was too lazy too. I didn't finish my mentor questionaire so my mentor who has known me since freshman year but under strict regulations is forced to write an incomplete rec for me based on my questionaire.
But my friend, she deserves to goto nyu. That's her dream school, she worked hard, even if she isn't "book smart", she is smart enough to do well in the school. I wish I could join her in nyu, I wish I could be there. I love this city, I would love to be able to take a short bus ride home whenever I want. Sure there'll be no campus life but theres so many clubs around that who cares. NYU is so close to the wall street action that it makes me salivate.
I haven't received any news from NYU yet, but I'm almost certain that I got rejected. I wouldn't want to goto a school who would accept someone with an incomplete application anyway.
Yea I know, I sound like a jerk, but I really worked hard. I'm the lazy type too, but I still worked hard. I've been and still am an arragont jerk, I don't think I realize that this is karma biting me in the butt. With prom coming up, I've been asked by a few girls to go with them (and there are a lot more who are too shy to ask, but stare at me all the time), but all I do is put them down. I want what I can't have, deep inside, I have the desire to steal one of my friend's date just to prove that I can. What's worse is, I plan on asking a girl out tomorrow (and she will say yes), and then fly to my friend whos in college and sleep around with girls simply for bragging rights behind the girl's back.
I think I am being a terrible person because I am insecure, I am cursed by my insecurities. I think of myself as a lazy, self-centered, arragont, egotist, nerd. I blame my problems on everyone but myself, I expect things to come to me. What's worse is, I am probably one of the most blessed person I know. I think a lot of people would want to be in my shoes if they could. But I am just pathetic. I just keep wanting more. I keep complaining about what I don't have. I complain about every little imperfection in my life. I over-think, over-analyze, and over react. If someone wrote a novel about me, it would probably be a best-seller because my life is so ironic and surreal that it would put even shakespeare's imagination to shame.
I am an extremely loyal person.. yet I'm also an extremely spiteful person. I have a real demon inside me, it is powerful, it is evil, and I am in a war with myself. I hold myself back, because I'm afraid of my evil side possessing so much power. I am afraid that I will hurt people, I am afraid that I will hurt people in the ways I don't want to. I am afraid that I will conclude one day, that my life is terrible, and decide to just let me evil side take over. I am afraid but sure that I will gain power, and use it irresponsibly.
Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse.
Not really about my life, I hope. Just a spider-man parody.

Yeah, I forgot I had applied to Frostburg when I started my post and didn't realize I had said mostly private schools.
Definitely public, and a good school if you're looking for something not too small, not too big, and a place where you can easily find a good time (huge party school) and can get a good education if you put the effort into it.
So my list:
As a freshman:
UCLA: Accepted
Duke: Rejected
Dayton: Accepted
North Carolina: Accepted
Utah: Accepted
Notre Dame: Enrolled
As a potential transfer student:
Brigham Young University: Rejected

I did not apply to university.
I passed entry exams ("concours") to French Engineer schools, and I could have gone to the Weapon school at Brest (I don't know if it's translated correctly, it depends from the ministry of defense, for tanks, ships, etc engineer), but I prefered to go to ENAC, the French Civil Aviation University (the English translation is misleading, as in fact it's not a university).

Four years ago I applied to study Natural Sciences at (in preference order):
Cambridge
Durham
Birmingham
Bath
UEA
Lancaster
Only seven universities in the UK offer NatSci, as far as I could find. Queen Mary, Uni of London didn't even have a web site when I was applying, so it was a simple list of who do I like best (you're only allowed to apply to six, and only one of Cambridge and Oxford). Cambridge turned me down, Durham wanted three A's, Bham wanted AAB, Bath ditto, UEA BBB and offered me a scholarship, Lancaster ditto. Since I got AABB, I went to Bham.

I applied for courses at both Aberdeen and Glasgow Universities for a course in English and Film Studies, and at their Art Universities for courses I can't remember now. I got rejected for art, not for English, and decided to stay here in Aberdeen.
Ultimately however, I got ridiculously disenchanted with the courses and decided to cut my losses short after second year (which means I should still have two years worth of tuition fees paid for me if I go back), and return later. I'm thinking about reapplying for an art or history degree at some point, but at the moment I'm about to do some smaller courses in business management this year, as I may be helping in opening a coffee shop

I believe the closest thing the French system has to these acceptances is for "classes prepa", the two-year classes you take to prepare for the entrance exams - but they count towards your type of diploma, meaning if you do the two years and then three years of college you'll be considered to have 5 years of college education.
Anyway for my class I chose a top-of-the-mid-tier one, mostly because all of the top tiers are in Paris and I didn't want to go there.
For my entrance exam I got l'ESSEC

I applied to two schools, the Puget Sound Bartending Academy and the Internetional Mixology Academy. The PSBA accepts everyone, so I got in. The IMA is more competitive and I did not get in 
Tuition is lower though at the PSBA so its no big deal.

Going to Drexel University for their accelerated BS/JD Program. With this program I'll be able to get my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and Law Degree in six years with co-op for both degrees. In addition my eleven AP Credits might allow me to add in an economics major and still graduate in the six year period.
