0/3 on my reaches, how did you do?

Applying to College
1

<p>I went 0/3 on my reaches - Wharton, NYU Stern, and Berkeley.
So they simplified my decision. Actually eliminated hard choices.</p>

<p>The choice I have is UCLA ($23K COA) and USC ($40K COA net of grants)</p>

<p>Some would argue that UCLA was a reach that I got into.
I am a posterchild for UCLA - California resident, UCGPA near max,
700+ in most SAT1/SAT2's (except critical reading), lots of
leadership and Spanish.</p>

<p>I'm 99% certain that I'll land up in UCLA and cheer for the Bruins.</p>

2

<p>My reaches were Swarthmore, Williams, and Pomona, and I got into all 3. Pomona's financial aid is sweet, Williams' was okay but a little disappointing, and I'm still waiting on Swarthmore's.</p>

3

<p>don't worry, I was 0/4 at my reaches/high matches, and got waitlisted at my 2 lower matches... i really only got into my safeties... UCLA is a great school, congratulations!</p>

4

<p>i was 0/4 and about to be 0/5...dont worry about it</p>

5

<p>Depends on how you look at it. </p>

<p>I'd say 2/6

10

<p>0/3

11

<p>4/4

overall 11/11</p>

12

<p>My reaches weren't that ambitious, but I'm 4/6</p>

<p>Accepted: Wellesley, UCLA, UCBerkeley (spring admit), Tufts
Rejected: Georgetown
Waitlisted: JHU</p>

13

<p>Not sure if Rice was necessarily a reach or high match, but in there.</p>

<p>Waitlisted at Duke, Georgetown, and Claremont (high match?).</p>

<p>Rejected Penn (wharton), stanford, and dartmouth</p>

<p>So I guess i got into 1 reach, waitlisted at 3, and rejected at 3.</p>
