How many unversities have rejected you?

[Integral]

Harvard University. Applied to just for giggles. Got in. Forget the scholarship amount, but it was less than 50%. Didn't really want to go up North.

MIT. Accepted, no scholarships

I officially hate you. In a good way, of course.

For graduate school, I was accepted at UT-Austin with a partial, NYU with no support (BOOO!) and GMU with 50% support.

You didn't get funding at NYU? I thought they guaranteed funding for the first year...or maybe that's a more recent phenomenon...

--

I went 2 for 7 last year (undergrad).
1 acceptance
4 waitlists (one eventual acceptance, three eventual rejections)
2 ouright rejections

Overall, I was at the margin for all the schools I applied to. I'm mostly happy with the way it turned out.

 

[woody60707]

None. But the only places I applied were WIU and ISU, so yea.

 

[Shadylookin]

0. I applied to Ball State and was accepted with half my tuition paid. Since it was so close I wouldn't have to live in a dorm, and tuition being the same price as a community college I didn't bother applying anywhere else. I'm sure I could have gotten accepted into a fancier joint, but I don't think i could have gotten into one cheaper(well a respectable one anyway).

 

[Abaddon]

Zero, I got offers from all that applied for.. but then again I had the best grades possible at the time (5 A's at AS-Level).

 

[Drewcifer]

Hmm, this was a long time ago.

I was accepted by Macalester College and Depauw University, turned down by Northwestern, the University of Vermont, Clark, and Connecticut College.

 

[Fetus4188]

Accepted:
Berkeley
UCLA
UCSD
Cal Poly

Rejected:
CalTech

 

[Narz]

I applied to three, was accepted to two.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I know some of you are applying for uni this year. So how many have rejected you? And conversely how many have accepted you?

I've gotten 5 rejections and 3 acceptance so far. I'm waiting for two more.

I probably shouldn't have applied to so many high end uni's....ah well.

Of the colleges I applied to years ago, I was rejected by seven.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
University of Pennyslvania
University of Michigan
Old Dominion University
United States Naval Academy
US Naval Academy Prep School
University of Kansas

If you can't aim for the stars, where else can you?

But I was accepted to University of Maryland at College Park, Virginia Polytechnic and State University, and of course Towson University, where I go now.

 

[QuoVadisNation]

I don't remember undergrad, let's try law schools instead.

1!..

2!...

3!

Three rejections, three acceptions, four waitlists, and one deference.

 

[sourboy]

I knew where I wanted to go, knew what would be the realistic back-up, and a local one on convenience.

I was accepted to all 3, but ultimately chose my desired U:

[silver 2039]

I was rejected by:

Princeton
Tufts
Chicago
Duke
Georgetown
Stanford

Accepted by:

Boston
Rutgurs
Fairleigh Dickinson

Pending is:

Michigan

It was stupid of me to apply to so many top uni's I shouldn't have done that. I blame my parents. But it doesn't matter I suppose since I got into Boston which is where I really want to go.

Wait? why would that be dumb? Besides the fee it cost to apply, you lose nothing. It's not like you get a black mark on your recored for being rejected by Chicago.

 

[Humpty Dumpty]

University of Toronto is on my mind after I did not recieve an acceptance note from M.I.T.

The only 2 that I'd applied for. My Parents are not wealthy enough for M.I.T.

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

Not a single university rejected me

Even though I only applied to a technical college.

 

[Gogf]

I have yet to be rejected from an university I've applied to.

I have an application outstanding with GW university for a post-grad economics program. Shouldn't be an issue. So easy two, I'm all of 3 blocks away when I'm at work.

Where I've been accepted:
Georgia Institute of Technology, 80% funded via a package of scholarships, remainder funded through work-study program. I went there since it was free.

Washington University, St. Louis, undergrad, 50% scholarship to off-set out of state costs. Still was expensive

Harvard University. Applied to just for giggles. Got in. Forget the scholarship amount, but it was less than 50%. Didn't really want to go up North.

MIT. Accepted, no scholarships

Impressive list. Just out of curiosity, what was your GPA and extracurriculars at the end of high school, if you don't mind sharing? I'm a Junior this year, and I'm oscillating between flipping out and feeling reasonably self-assured.

I'll definitely apply to Harvard and Yale next year... let's hope.

 

[Gecko1]

Well, if it counts for anything I'm applying to a secondary school. I'm gonna get the letter sometime in May. If I get in though, Harvard here I come.

Kim Il-sung University
Northwestern University

[North King]

Accepted into Michigan, Carleton, and Amherst, waitlisted at Swarthmore, and rejected by Yale and Stanford. I'm honestly not surprised at any of them except Swarthmore waitlisting me. I think I probably could have gotten into Yale and Stanford if I had tried a little harder with those applications, but maybe that's just the ego talking.

 

[Dida]

Back in the days, I applied to 3 (HYP) and was rejected by 1 (P).

I'm so sorry for you...

The letter is the wrong way, and color. This is what you should've had:
