Universities, especially the Ivy-Leagues, sometimes confuse me about what exactly they want in a student. It's evident that you were persistent and determined to gain access one of the top schools in our country. I'm sure we're all tired of you bragging about your accomplishments, advanced classes, extra-cirriculars. That's great that you did all of this with the intention of making it look good for your applications. But you know what, you'll never rise above your constraints as a spoiled, conceited, ugly brat. They obviously did not want you in their university and that's why you were rejected. I bet if someone else with your credentials applied to that particular school, they would have gotten in. This is a particular instance when that university can be applauded. This is why that university is great because it is very prestigious regarding who they accept.

I got rejected from my top two schools: WashU in St. Louis and Columbia, instead I ended up in my state school, University of Michigan, and could not be happier. I'm a junior now and I can't even imagine going to one of those two schools. If I really want to go there then their is always grad school!

Best of luck. Senior year of high school is such a stressful time, but if gets better. Just remember everything happens for a reason.

:/ sorry to hear about the college thing, but we all know you've gained so much more by doing what you love and that will help you so much more in life. i got denied by my first choice school and was devastated, but i got accepted to one that seemed like an even better/more interesting&stimulating place to be, was cheaper for me, and even more highly ranked. and i love it! everyone told me after my initial rejection that it wasnt the end of the world and that id end up being accepted to somewhere id like just as much if not more...and it really did turn out to be true. i know it's horrible to be worrying about it until regular decision acceptances start coming out, but get too paranoid about those just because you didnt get in ed. you'll have to wait, but i promise it will be worth it!

i hope this doesn't upset you too much. i know i'm being slightly hypocritical by saying that, and of course, it sucks to be rejected from the school you applied early to, but like other people have said, maybe that wasn't the right fit. you will find a place for you. and more importantly, don't ever give up your dreams for a better education. one thing you learn in college is that no matter where you go, it's all up to you to make it your own, make it the best. so what if you didn't get to go to yale? maybe at some other school, you'll be able to shine more. it took me a while to realize this, but now as i'm getting a 4.0 this quarter at ucsd, i'm all like WHOA! this is cool! it's cool to be the best student at a school that you might not have considered your first choice as opposed to being one of many smart people at an ivy league school. plus ultimately, that's what people notice about you. gl on the rest of those apps!

hmm, i'm guessing yale or stanford? (based on your previous posts and popularity of early action applicants from my school alone) but either way, i'm truly happy for you that you are so accepting and can easily move past this and look toward the bigger picture. you will surely get into another equally great if not even better top school. happy holidays!

I agree with the person who posted above about destiny (Secretista). I was devastated when I was rejected from Dartmouth ED. I went to my second choice, Wellesley, and absolutely loved it! As my first year progressed, I couldn't really remember why I had wanted to go to Dartmouth so badly. I got caught up with the Ivy League brand name, not realizing that there are amazing colleges out there, and you have to trust that some of them will love to have you, and vice versa.

i have no clue why you wanna catch a case of poison ivy so badly.

and no you wont be accepted by the school you truly will want to spend the next 4 years at. that is just pure bull.
don't lie. live.

and if the college doesn't want you. then why would you want that college.

its only college. no matter where you get in, you'll be fine. you'll make good friends. you'll get laid. stop worrying.

I believe that getting denied and accepted by certain schools is fate. You will get accepted by the school you truly will want to spend the next 4 years at.

Noel, you are awesome and you have a great attitude about this, which is what is most important.
I feel you because i didnt get into my early school.
But you're so right that its about what we do with our time, not where we are at.

Okay. Maybe my two cents aren't too valuable, but here it goes (and I hope you don't find this too... odd): I'm a freshman, and I discovered your blog over the summer. I check it daily, and I'm always overjoyed to see one of your posts. Your work inspired me to start my own blog [no matter how mediocre it is], pay more attention to fashion as a world of art, keep trying hard for what I want to accomplish, and think about what is really important. Ultra-cheese factor here, but it's true: you are a role model for any person reading this, including me, as you show with your work ethic, your creativity,and your enthusiasm towards everything. I can only hope to be as successful and motivated in whatever I discover my passion to be [still getting there]. It's the coolest thing to see someone who cares sooo much about everything and can actually do something about what they care about. And about quitting? I never even doubted your persistence.

I'm sure you'll get into one of your top schools. I'm guessing Yale or Princeton for your early action...

I'm positive you'll grab at least one Ivy. But probably more than one. :)

you are completely amazing and I really enjoy reading your blog (it's my favorite blog and I check it every day for updates!) :)

If it's not this school, then you'll surely end up happy at another. Whatever was meant to be will always find its way :)!

Love ya!

i guess this school wasn't meant to be. :( but no worries, there are more-suited schools out there for you. <3
i personally think you deserve the spot over any of the kids that got deferred from my school. i know their stats and they're nowhere as good as your's, and they don't have the charisma you do! or the sense of style ;)

good luck with the rest of your apps!
i'm getting super nervous about acceptances next year too. :(

you will definately end up somewhere amazing; if it's not picture perfect, so what? Makes life that much the more exciting.

head up, if you have a true love for fashion then pursue it, we only get one life.

but of course, college is for the knowledge and the incredible education you can receive--so pursue something you truly want to learn. you're in the right place.

and remember... always be humble, have a good heart, and you will get to places in life.

kudos. <3

Noel, we both applied and got denied to the same school so I know how your feeling so much. It wasn't us, we both had the stats and credentials and grades to it, its the fact that 90% of applicants get denied. And the fact that the number of seniors applying to college this year is the most it has ever been. I, for one, am not looking back. What's done is done. I got my rejection letter and that's okay. I have 11 more schools to hear back from and I know the one that I decide to go to will be the right one for me. You, too. Keep on doing everything you're doing. Don't ever change.
