<p>Yep, 14 colleges, and still not enough :(</p>
<p>Some people might say that students applied to too many reaches, but damn that naviance, according to his “bubble” on the charts, my son should have been accepted at 6 out of the eight.</p>
<p>For the life of me I can’t figure out why so many kids are getting rejected/waitlisted at schools they “should” have gotten into.</p>
<p>One of the students my S is in class with had a 4.6 (not valedictorian), roughly 2300, tennis star and she had plenty of community service…waitlisted at Duke.</p>
<p>Go figure.</p>
<p>We are in a very competitive, highly ranked, non diverse small HS in an affluent town. Perhaps schools are trying to be more diverse? All I know is the GC’s are getting overwhelmed by parents and kids asking, Why?</p>
<p>There does seem to be more strange stuff than usual going on this year in terms of waitlists and rejections. The result, I think, will be people applying to even more schools next year in order to be covered. Many schools are attempting to minimize their acceptance stats and maximize their yield stats apparently and adding more uncertainty to the process.</p>
