By all accounts, this was the most competitive year for "elite" college admissions on record. For many months, high school seniors around the country waited for the news: Did they get into the college(s) of their choice? By now they've found out, so the Gargoyle decided to ask a random selection of Uni seniors their thoughts about the college admissions process: Were they satisfied with how things turned out?

I guess so. I dunno, they didn't bother me too much. I know that a lot of my friends are stressed out so that's not good. I didn't apply to any Ivy League schools so ...

I'm satisfied. I only applied to the U of I.

Sheri Grill
I'm decently satisfied. I realized I wasn't going to get into everywhere, which is fine, but I got into a lot of really good schools, and I'm on the wait list at my top choice, so it's OK.

Yes, I'm satisfied — a little bit disappointed, or rather surprised, that a lot of seniors couldn't get into their top choices. But I think it's just a difficult year. Overall, I think most of us are still going to great schools like UChicago or WashU.

I didn't get into my early decision college, but I'm actually kind of glad about that because I think I found another place that's better. (Photo by Sindha Agha)

I'm satisfied … I only applied to three schools, so it wasn't that difficult.

Well, I'm satisfied with my personal college admissions— I'm lucky that I got into my first choice, New York University, and I decided I'm going there. But I'm not satisfied with the idea of college admissions or the process. It puts a lot of undue stress on not only the students but their families.
