yea i already withdrew from the accepted colleges. (I mean, if i dont pay the deposit by a date, is it automatically assumed that i will not enrol, or do i have to explicitly cancel the acceptance?)
that isn't the same thing as withdrawing, you were supposed to mail the colleges with letters of withdrawl before they even replied with a decision.
oh well too late now i guess

basically down to duke/penn because they will most likely provide a better financial aid package than the UCs. not really sure between those two. hopefully i can visit them so it makes the decision easier heh

Hmm.. the thing is all the acceptances came at the same time, since i applied for ED and Early Action at the same time. So if i let the enrolment deposit deadline lapse, would they automatically just strike off my name?)
From Umich:
All students admitted for the Fall 2009 who would like to commit to enroll must postmark their enrollment deposit by Friday, May 1 or submit an electronic check payment by May 1, midnight EST.
Well at least, that's what I gather from the wording from above.

Basically what I learned last year is that college applications are maddeningly arbitrary - there are always the people you see and think "HE got in THERE?!" and you it doesn't make sense at all to you and it feels unfair. Basically, you just have to apply to enough colleges so that statistically you'll get into at least one decent one. I'm thankful that my results turned out okay, though I didn't get into my first choice.
The lack of an explanation is what makes thinking back on it a nightmare. What if I had done better in that one class? Would that change in my GPA make the difference? What if I had changed this word in this essay? The fact that you'll never know makes it completely open ended. I remember realizing though, if they did give me reasons, I probably would have just disagreed with their reasons mentally. Think about it this way: if you DESERVE to be in, but didn't get in, then sooner or later you'll accomplish the same things anyway, because it's just part of who you are.

xhumin i totally agree with you now. I have been thinking about it, and how i could have taken 1 less ap or something and gotten an a in an easy class and i could have done better in french and all this stuff but it doesn't really matter now. I just made sure i applied to enough schools to where i gave myself enough of a chance to be chosen. i thankfully got into Cornell after getting waitlisted 4 times haha. But your insight is definitely right, you can always accomplish something later on.
