May 1, , is National College Decision Day. You got online and caught a glimpse of the word "Congratulations! You did it! You got accepted to your top-choice school! Once you've spent time congratulating yourself and showing off your acceptance letter to family and friends, it's time to sit down and ask yourself: what now? First off, if you're having any doubts that this is the school you really want to go to, it's perfectly OK to wait until you've heard back from all other schools you applied to Ivies and non-Ivies alike before you make your final decision.
Don't feel pressured to attend this Ivy simply because you got accepted. Think about what you personally hope to gain from your college experience, and then choose the university—Ivy or not!
If this top-choice Ivy really is your overall top-choice school and you know you want to go there no matter what, your next step will be to formally agree to attend this school. Before you do this, though, make sure that you've had the chance to discuss costs for this school with your parents or whoever is helping you pay for college and that you clearly understand your financial aid package.
After you've accepted your invitation to attend the school, you can then get started on declining any acceptances you got from other colleges. You eagerly checked your admissions decision from your top-choice school only to be met with a pang of confusion: you've been offered a place on the waitlist.
You don't feel elated but you're not devastated either. After all, getting waitlisted means you could still get accepted. This limbo stage can be tricky to deal with, but if you really want the opportunity to get accepted to your top choice—and you're willing to wait just a little longer— you'll want to immediately accept the invitation to be put on their waitlist.
This will officially keep you in the running for a possible spot in that Ivy League school's newest freshman class. Write a letter to the school letting them know this. You can include details such as what classes you'd like to take and how you can envision yourself being highly successful there. Ultimately, anything you can do to stress that this Ivy League school is your top choice will reflect positively on you as the admissions committee works its way through the waitlist. Unfortunately, you'll more than likely not hear back about your waitlist decision until after the decision deadline has passed.
As a result, you should put down a deposit for your second-choice school, even if you haven't yet heard from your top-choice school. This way, if you don't get off the waitlist, you'll still have a spot confirmed at another school you're happy to attend. Worst case scenario, you get accepted to your top-choice school and lose your deposit money. But, hey, this means you get to attend your top choice!
Maybe Ivy Day wasn't an exciting day for you because you got the dreaded rejection from your top-choice school. It's OK to be upset about this —you just found out that you won't be able to attend your dream school.
This is a huge setback, so it's normal to feel sad, angry, and confused. But it's also important to remember that all Ivy League schools are extremely hard to get into , so much so that the vast majority of applicants get rejected.
So you're definitely in good company! And getting rejected says nothing about your intellectual ability or academic promise. Once you've come to accept your rejection, it's time to weigh your options: the schools Ivy and non-Ivy you have been accepted to. If you got into your second-choice school and know for sure you want to go here, get started on accepting your offer of admission here and on declining any admission offers you received from other schools.
On the other hand, if you don't have a second-choice school or are doubting where you'd like to go since getting rejected from your dream school, take some time to really consider which college you'll be most satisfied at. The rule of thumb is to wait until you've heard back from every school you've applied to and then look at your acceptances.
As you consider your options, here are some key questions to ask yourself to help you figure out which college will be the best fit for you:.
Ivy Day isn't a happy day for everyone, especially if you got rejected from all the Ivies you applied to. This is certainly much more of a setback than if you got rejected from one or two Ivies but still got into at least one. It's important at this time to take care of yourself before you make any college decisions. Allow yourself to be upset, sad, or angry or all three!
That said, try to also remind yourself that college admissions are really a mixed bag , especially when it comes to the Ivy League. Many qualified applicants are turned down each year. Indeed, the acceptance rates for Ivy League schools are extremely low, so you're certainly not in the minority if you get rejected! Track your application online. Contact our office to speak with a Financial Aid Officer if you have questions about your eligibility.
