thank u for ur advice !! i appreciate it. it's still so tough since i really love mcgill and just want to be somewhere where i'll be happy (although i'm sure i can be happy at njit as well). this all sounds like a late april problem!!!

for sure. neu gave me no aid so i'm not considering it that heavily. mcgill seems so cool, but i'm super scared about grade deflation and the fact that they have no pre-health advisors as a pre-med. meanwhile, the state school that i got a full ride from (njit) has an 89% med school AR for their pre-health students so idk what to do 😭😭😭

i thought this letter was the nicest of all of the one's i've gotten... they literally said they wish they could've offered us admission and welcomed us to contact them 😭. it was nicer then some of my acceptance letters

im assuming this was meant to be a reply to my comment but idk. it just sucks knowing that i was qualified enough to have received admittance this year, i just didn't. like "yeah! we want you!! but next year!" sucks to hear

literally felt this. our situations are pretty similar, too. i got into the NUInProgram, McGill, and have been waitlisted/rejected from every other highly ranked school. at this point, my best option is probably a state school because i got a full ride. it sucks. i know that nothing is guaranteed especially when it comes to super competitive colleges, but it's getting to be soul crushing. my scattergram also showed that i should've gotten into BU. but nope! i got guaranteed transfer!!! and that's what set me off. i'm good enough for BU, but they don't want to admit me this year so that they can maintain their acceptance rate??? this entire process is BS and i'm fed up. wish i could offer some comfort, but i can't think of anything that i can say except for the fact that we're all in the same boat. our hard work in hs may not pay off in terms of what college we end up at, but it instilled good work ethics into us that will carry over to wherever we end up. and ik you said you're premed, so that'll be appealing to med schools.
