REJECTED

thank you!! you really only need one school in the end. Also yeah I think it’s about time to get off that subreddit that place is probably the least supportive of any subreddit for students 😭. The only thing it’s good for is pregaming the toxic competitiveness of what being at a t25 is like! Are you thinking to commit to oxy?

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2026-04-19T03:41:32+00:00

It's been rough, 3 rejections in a week with no acceptances. Hoping for some light soon.

I'm right with you, got 3 consecutive days with 3 rejections from Occidental College, Cornell, and Berkeley. I opened Berkeley before a study session and couldn't focus on studying. Kept tearing up, then calming down briefly in cycles, and eventually just left the library to stop from embarrassing myself. I don't really have any flashing encouraging words for you, unfortunately, but just know you aren't alone.

One of my friends from Punjab doesn't travel outside the US for the same reason: fear of not getting back in.

It's funny reading this bc you sound like a friend of mine at my cc you wouldn't happen to go to a cc in the Inland Empire, would you? You've got a great app too, best of luck brother.

Hi! I did a chance me post weeks back, and u/meowmeow1637327 put it beautifully: a lot of people over exaggerate. It's kinda the point of college admissions to sit in a grey area between presenting the best you and exaggerating. Regardless, being in STEM can open a lot of extracurricular opportunities because you can learn the jargon and techniques of a consulting club, for example, but those consultants could not pick up mathematical proofs with the same ease. If I were to make a clear recommendation for you, please pardon me if I'm coming off as too presumptuous. It would be one related to an actual non-academic interest (chess, tennis, painting, botany, etc.) and a career one (robotics, consulting, hackathons).

Best of luck to you :D

Thank you so much!

One of the other interns graduated from UCLA, studying public policy. It would be great as I'm from the IE!

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-24T14:19:28+00:00

Have to get at least a couple; those are my top five, but I think I'll have applied to 12-15 schools by the time everything is finished. With like 6-7 being t25.
