Any PM's (about my armor) sent over Bungie.net or Friend Requests (for my armor) over Live will be unanswered/declined. Sorry! All you need to know is that I was given my armor because I fulfilled one of the secret requirements for Bungie Day 09. I am a pre-owner of Recon!

Hey guys, I know this is an anxious part of the year for many High School seniors seeing as how we receive our acceptance/rejection letters from various places.

I was mentally steeling myself to look at the letter but I completely broke. I got deferred from Brown University today.

Anyone else hear back yet? As our guidance office always says, "It's their loss." Though I'm not sure I completely believe that, haha. Still painful to be rejected/deferred, especially from your top choice.

No reason to feel bad.


So many universities and choices out there. You'll get in one.

I remember getting accepted into GA Tech, but then getting declined into Duke...

Only two colleges I was seriously considering

Lt. Dan I brought you some ice cream. Lt. Dan.. ice creaaam!

I was in a guaranteed admission program in highschool for acceptance into San Diego State University. They rejected me because of budget problems in the state of CA.

Si hoc legere scis, nimis eruditionis habes

I applied regular/rolling to all of my schools, so I won't hear back until March or so. Honestly, there is only one school that I really want to go to, so as long as I get into that one I'm happy.

Denied from Penn State, accepted to Temple.

I've come to terms with it.

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

What do ITs count as?

What's your ACT/SAT score OP

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

I randomly got one from some random technical college/university out in Utah, supposed to be prestigious or something.

Strange thing is that I never applied or have made my intentions to go to a greater education learning center known.

Deferred from Tulane which was disappointing because I was pretty sure I was going to get in.

The Wonderful LeSieg!

OP, I had a miserable time in high school. I was smart and capable, but completely emotionally incapable of doing anything to help myself. It got so bad that I wanted to just drop out and never do anything for the rest of my life. I felt useless, stupid and burdensome to my family.

Late junior year, something horrible happened to my family and by early senior year, I was nearly catatonic. But someone who cared about me very deeply told me there was no way I was ever going to be happy unless I pulled myself together and went to college. I did everything I could to just get by. I was so nervous about colleges that I only applied to two universities, neither of much stature or reputation. I got accepted to both and went to the one that I felt was the best fit.

I have been in college for awhile now and thank myself and that person who cared about me enough to try and make sure I had something to make for myself was there when I need them. The school I go to isn't great, but I made it here and I will achieve a sustainable way of life by graduating soon. If you even got considered for Brown you're leagues ahead of where I was. You'll do fine wherever you go. Just know that you can do amazing things despite the school and it's name. Enjoy your senior year and look forward to the future.

Brown University? Please- what are you trying to do? Get into UPS?

Just chill, smaller Universities, while they may not have a reputation, do have very good educations.

I was fairly confident last year when I was waiting to hear back, so I wasn't too anxious. Remember most people get deferred before they get accepted. It's nothing to worry about. Where else did you apply?

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Op, if you don't get accepted to any university you could always go to community college then try to get into a university. They will be more accepting.

Lol if OP got deferred from one of the best schools in the country I don't think he's going to have any problem getting into some other great university.

deferred from Brown University today.
Ouch. Crapton of tension there, have fun waiting for the next 4 months. Good luck man, Brown's acceptance rate is ridiculous.

Currently waiting on Princeton which doesnt come out until Tuesday, even if I get in though I probably won't go unless I get rejected from Swarthmore and Upenn in regulars. One of my friends is elated though, he got into Duke. Like 5 people from my school got rejected from UPenn though, it's harsh.

I was accepted into Eau Claire, but I'm still waiting on a letter from Washington, Seattle. That's where I really wanna go.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

I don't apply until February, but I know that I will get my first choice.

Awesome story. It's reassuring to hear this. It's strange. I kind of fantasized what it would feel like telling my parents that their son got into an Ivy and so on.

But I'm not too down. A bit shocked and disappointed but as my father always says, "Hope for the best, expect the worst."

Thanks for the replies guys.

And someone asked for my SAT/ACT scores, correct? I got a 2070 and 30 respectively.

Get the hell off my planet!

I have a scholarship for 2 years community, 2 years state, and all the community colleges around me have become state colleges.

I don't want to commute for an hour, nor do I want to move out with low financing.
