<p>I sent out thirteen applications, but I withdrew two of them. </p>
<p>So far I have been accepted to three colleges and rejected from two. The cookie is crumbling in a funny way: I was rejected from my safety but accepted at my two top choices.</p>
<p>12 (well, 11 if you count Emory and Oxford as one school)</p>
<p>3 safeties -Got into 2, still waiting on the 3rd (but I got a full scholarship there so its only a matter of getting my acceptance letter)
3 matches (Still Waiting)
6 reaches - Rejected from 1 (UMiami), Got into 1 (Brandeis, 3rd choice) but still waiting for the others…</p>
<p>3 reach schools- Rejected from 1. Waitlisted @1. Still waiting for 3rd
4 match schools-Rejected from 1. Accepted @1. Still waiting on 2
3 safety schools- Got into 2. Still waiting on the 3rd</p>
<p>1 reach (got in and attending)
2 matches
3 safeties</p>
<p>I kind of wish I had applied to more reaches, only my reach required an essay the others required supplimental essays and I just used the same one for each.</p>
<p>And for a reality check so we can appreciate how skewed CC is . . . </p>
