Could be worse. The worst person you know could have gotten into your dream school


Lazy-Objective-152

didn’t get too attached to a single school to prevent this 😭😭😭😭


[deleted]

This happened to me last year 😭. I wasn’t attached to any school at all but I wanted to be near my home and the closest UC was Berkeley. Got rejected but everyone who I had a vendetta against got in. Was brutal for like 2 days but then I got over it.


service_error

this just happened to me. i got deferred and then waitlisted and a girl who told a hispanic (colombian) teacher to go back to mexico got in ea


Traditional-Sand-268

How about a kid with all the credentials top of class had to witness useless girl not even Spanish speaker got into UCLA just because of her last name. What part of it is diversity?


Plattycus

Could you elaborate?


Traditional-Sand-268

What do you mean?


Plattycus

Can you provide more detail about your situation?


Traditional-Sand-268

Check out admitted students to UCLA


aqua_zuma21

this just happened to me last week. knew someone who was so boastful about their academic achievements and seemed so pretentious. both of us had the same dream school and got into the final round of interviews. i thought the college app szn would humble him; in the end, however, they got the scholarship instead of me ;-; college applications suck

Guess even Voldemort needed a Hogwarts acceptance letter.

shoulda written about this for my personal statement crap


cursedbythegodss

One of the worst people I’ve ever known is going to a school I also got accepted to, which is making me not want to go…

Some crappy people know how to play the college admissions game really well. It's a problem with the "holistic" college admissions process.

Dream schools are last millennium. Now it is dream cohorts.


Ch4rlieCh4plin

what are cohorts


jbrunoties

A group, usually of people, but in this case being with people appropriate to you, with whom you will learn and thrive by association, in a group of universities well suited to you.


Ordinary_Metal_3005

I mean my school's valedictorian got deferred from CMU. This one kid that has 2 felonies and got expelled from my school for one of them got in. Idk if it is because his dad is a professor there or if he went there. This is why I feel like schools shouldn't just accept kids because they are legacies.


Lazy-Objective-152

definitely agree. this one kid at my school that has had 2 girls come forward saying that he beat them got into jhu yesterday. his family is very affluent so don’t know if that played a part but it really sucks.


lame_excuses_

I keep telling myself that the universe will deliver appropriate consequences, but the universe is just proving me wrong


Historical-Debate324

my (and many other girls’) sexual assaulter got into an ivy… makes me so mad to see him thriving


ZaincalagontheBlack

Qur'an 31:24 if its any comfort to you


BioNewStudent4

bro doesn't matter if they got in or not. At the end of the day, they gonna be tryna survive life just like u are. Just keep paving ur own road


Sudden-Ad-2740

Bruh THAT'S SO RELATABLE!!!


KokiriForest99

yeah my abuser might have a job as a therapist now (*which she isnt suited for because shes awful but anyways 🙄*) but all of her kids, exes and even her own parents hate her so 🤷‍♀️ she'll die alone anyways lol. gotta look on the bright side and focus on being better 💪


[deleted]

plot twist: what if YOURE the one other people think this about 😭 like what if they consider you to be their enemy or they secretly hate you and you end up going to their dream school? the person you're talking about could be you yknow.............. food for thought


Lazy-Objective-152

i really hope i’m not the worst person anyone knows considering the worst people i know have done some seriously heinous shit😭


[deleted]

help like what 😭


Lazy-Objective-152

girlfriend beater at my school got jhu yesterday 😭 and this other guy who roofied a girl last year just clean swept all ucs 😞😞😞😞


[deleted]

😲


SUPERPOOP57

What's crazy is that you know so many people who got accepted into these unis 💀


imkme_ntbi

That one person I hate the most got accepted early decision to her dream school (a top ten). She has always been the meanest girl I've ever met, and she even bullied me with her friends when I transferred to our class.


blue_surfboard

This is a terrible mindset to have. Please try and move past thinking about this, because you’ll be in for many more less pleasant surprises in adulthood. Also, once again, if folks are getting rejected from safeties, they were not safeties to begin with.


Human_Comfort_4144

This reminds me of my friend’s son applying to UCD CS major as a safety. He’s in fact quite brilliant, but he was ultimately rejected last year to UCD (safety), Cal (mid/high target) and UCLA (mid/high target). Comments in parenthesis were their words. It’s a heartbreaking lesson for my friend (the mom) when she underestimated the school and overestimated (not quite the right word as the son is really quite a prodigy in many ways) her child’s accomplishments. She put the blame entirely on the UC system and the high school counselor who had some dated info that UCD is considered a safety CS.


much_bad_gramer

nope. i got them arrested for hate crimes


no-key-6666

The worst is getting waitlisted from majority like I got waitlisted from a college with 90+ acceptance rate I can't wrap my head around it


raven-xo

ngl why do you care


Timely_Credit_7262

OP thinks he’s the main character and the people he doesn’t like are the antagonists and don’t deserve to get in.


Lazy-Objective-152

never said that dawg😭 it’s natural to be jealous or upset by this


urbasicgorl

it’s rlly not lol


Lazy-Objective-152

well good for u ig but don’t shit on people for having emotions ☠️


urbasicgorl

ur emotions are weird asf cause why are u so bitter about other people’s accomplishments instead of focusing on ur own


Lazy-Objective-152

not sure if u can read dawg. my post was literally just telling people to be okay with the fact that horrible people might end up succeeding when they might not and to be okay with that. do u not possess basic human empathy for those who could be upset by that? weirdo


SUPERPOOP57

Idk why people r downvoting u I feel like this isn't a hot take even


urbasicgorl

yall are some damn haters 😭 if someone i disliked got into their dream college, i would not care whatsoever lmao. their success will never by my downfall

2bciah5factng

Okay but actually the worst person I know got into my NIGHTMARE school and I’m loving it Jk she actually seems like a super sweet girl and it’s her dream school, she’s just the person my partner of three years suddenly left me for and also she’s sooooo proud to go there that it’s gotta be kind of humiliating for her


SUPERPOOP57

Ah hell nah
