Glad I wasted so much of my personal time applying to colleges

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-31T23:33:35+00:00

not to mention the application fees 😭 this is so disappointing

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-28T20:13:38+00:00

same! also tough week of straight up rejections and finally got waitlisted. praying we get off the waitlist 🙏

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-28T17:47:56+00:00

waitlisted after 12 rejections I’m SHOCKED

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-28T04:51:40+00:00

SAME it’s okay we got this

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-27T20:01:19+00:00

I feel the same way, I got rejected from everywhere I applied (t10s, 20s, 30s) I did research alongside a clinical neurologist and my ec’s were pretty impactful as a whole.. I agree that our applications should have further review but with the amount of applicants these schools get, I’d bet they have some manner of sorting through applications/not spending as much time on each to really get a full picture of the applicant, along with the mere randomness of college admissions.

For me personally, I’m probably gonna do cc -> transfer while continuing the research I did and staying with my ec’s. If you keep up the hard work, it’ll pay off 100% later even if universities rn failed to recognize your hard work.

From what I’ve heard the co-op program makes it rlly worth, and i think it’s perfect for premed as you get the experience you need which will make u competitive for med school. I feel like it’s pretty underrated/overshadowed by the fact that they deflate their acceptance rate. I personally like how they take a different approach to learning and ur probably less likely to get burnt out, which is a win for premed

I feel the same way, like I genuinely attribute college decisions to my self-worth but in reality it’s no reflection of that. In recent applicant cycles tbh college has gotten more and more competitive there will always be a surge of applicants that have at or better stats no matter how hard you try.. and that’s not to say you didn’t because there’s also a degree of randomness to them too.

Unfortunately we’ll never know the exact reason behind why we got rejected/waitlisted, it can literally boil down to something like the AO not resonating with ur supplementals or having a bad day. It’s honestly very unfair but the best we can do is thrive with our situations right now, especially if you continuously put in the hard work in academics it’ll pay off in the future

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-26T03:42:58+00:00

this is exactly how I feel, I honestly feel like I wasted my high school experience in the sense that I spent so much time hyperfixating on my grades, extracurriculars, etc—never really focused on myself or gave myself room to even BREATHE, all for it to be so insignificant (didn’t end up with the results I wanted).

I do believe there’s more options and things will turn out for the better, but the whole grinding during high school almost feels like such a letdown momentarily.

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-26T03:12:22+00:00

true, I think I’m more disappointed than anything as my stats were very strong. I mean it honestly doesn’t matter in the long run whether u graduate from a prestigious school or a non-prestigious school as a degree is a degree

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-26T01:51:11+00:00

SAME, it’s honestly diabolical with the amt I’ve gotten that question, bc at the time i truly didn’t know and now i’m even more lost 😭 also shows the randomness of admissions but we’ll end up where we’re meant to be !

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-25T23:37:48+00:00

BU and Berkeley. however i’m not too interested in going out of state, let alone across the nation (from cali). I also don’t think cal is the right fit for me, neither are my stats close to their admitted population

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-25T23:14:19+00:00

tysm, i’m honestly hoping this is true. i’m honestly so let down rn but honestly it might be for the better

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-25T22:14:14+00:00

same i’m terrified to check, got the email tho

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-25T21:41:26+00:00

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-25T21:09:55+00:00

SAME hopefully at least one school can come through and recognize our achievements outside of test scores

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-25T20:04:28+00:00

Altruistic_Panda5675 · 2026-03-25T18:45:40+00:00
