Getting acceptance phone calls from reach schools Forum

[SandyC877]

Just got a call + letter of acceptance from a school within t20. My numbers are both barely on or below their 25.
Also got a rejection letter from a T2 school. My numbers are on or just above their 75th. It's not YP because they didn't even waitlist me.

What is going on?

i fail to see the downside here

unless money is your only priority i guess

Can you share what schools and your approx #s?

Congrats on the acceptance, must feel awesome. I'm crossing my fingers for some school, even ONE school like that to let me in.

not a flame at all, i just never thought i would see someone get in to UT and get dinged at pepperdine

maybe your "Christian Values" statement wasn't compelling enough

I think rejections can still be YP. Bizarre outcome though. Congrats on UT and Vandy! Are you a TX resident? Mind sharing your stats?

C&F issue with Pepperdine??

Que sera, sera, I suppose...

none. i think my christian mission statement sucked. i didn't say much of Jesus, just something generic about helping the poor.

Wait, the Christian mission statement is a real thing? I thought that was a joke earlier. Wow. Sandy, i wouldn't let it get to you. There is zero chance you would have gone (right?) so maybe they just figured it out before you did.

It was definitely a possibility if I had not gotten in anywhere else better, and truthfully I didn't think I would. And the essay in reply to their Christian Mission Statement is no joke. It's required.

and for the record, I have nothing but love for Pepperdine. I really do feel grateful that they considered my application and took their time to thoroughly review it. I'm sure only they know why, but bottomline is that I wasn't meant to be there.
