Mar. 28th, 2007 03:16 pmRejected from Claremont McKenna and waitlisted at Pitzer. I'd rather go to Claremont, but Pitzer is making me more irritated. I didn't expect to get in at Claremont McKenna (according to collegeboard.com their acceptance rate has gotten really small recently, it's like... 22% now?), but Pitzer? Come on. They have a higher acceptance rate than Colorado College but I got in there. My stats are way above their averages. But I read somewhere else someone got a 4.2 weighted and a 2390 SAT and they were also waitlisted, while someone else got like... 1900 SAT and 3.7 weighted GPA and got in, and I'm thinking that Pitzer's just being really sensitive about being used as a safety and is rejecting people with higher stats than their averages because they think they won't go, because my college counselor told me before I even applied that they had been known to do that. I mean, I thought I showed enough interest, but... I guess not. blah. Now I'm more freaked out than ever about Vassar because I want to go there so badly and now it's like I'm not even getting in anywhere else so if I don't get in it's not like I can be like "Well, it's ok, because I got into Claremont McKenna and I really liked that school." Man, I thought I'd get at least waitlisted at Claremont. This is really disappointing and really discouraging.
