<p>Hey fellow Yale SCEA Deferred/Rejected People! </p>
<p>So... it looks like the wait will continue on for several more months, and we'll have to apply to more colleges.
Where else will you be applying for the whole RD cycle? Reaches/Matches/Safeties? </p>
<p>BEST OF LUCK FOR THE RD CYCLE!!!</p>
<p>I think this list accurately reflects my reach/target/safety rankings. I was deferred to Yale, so this list makes some sense:</p>
<p>Reach:
[ul][<em>]Princeton
[</em>]Dartmouth
[li]Cornell[/ul]</p>[/li]
<p>Target:
[ul][<em>]Duke
[</em>]Boston College
[<em>]University of Virginia (Jefferson Scholarship maybe... hopefully...)
[</em>]William and Mary[/ul]</p>
<p>Safety:
[ul][<em>]University of Maryland, College Park
[</em>]St. Mary's College of Maryland[/ul]</p>
<p>Reach: Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford
Within Reach: UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC
Safety: UCSD</p>
<p>It's scary how many applicants to Tier-1 schools have the same exact school choices.</p>
<p>Mine are also as follows:</p>
<p>Reach: Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, UPenn, Brown
Within Reach: UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC
Safety: UCI</p>
<p>Reach: Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, UPENN!!!, MIT
Within Reach: Berkeley, Duke?, Brown? (Legacy), Cornell?
Safety: UoP, UCSD</p>
<p>Haha, I don't even know where my (?) schools go. Somewhere between reach and match.</p>
<p>Beyond Reach: Stanford
Reach: Princeton (Yale, move over)
Mid-Reach: UPENN Wharton (Likely where I'm going)
Medium to Easy: UCs, USC, Harvey Mudd</p>
<p>Hehe ^, I like how you think Wharton is a midreach.</p>
<p>Well, these are the ones I've applied to already:</p>
<p>Reach: Harvard, Cornell
Midreach: WashU, Northwestern
Safety (got in): University of Illinois </p>
<p>And I might finish my app to USC but I doubt it.</p>
<p>REACH; every single IV
match/target: NYU, Wash U in ST.louis, MIT,SUNY GENESEO, Brandeis U,etc..
safety: all the rest. blah blah blah....i feel so discouraged now....all my friends got acepted to their first choice(EA/ED) school, even if they wernt IV's. im the only one who got defered (basically rejected)</p>
<p>wow, i'm impressed with what you guys think are your matches. MIT? Wharton?
you're scores/essays/grades must be fantastic....i'm jealous haha.</p>
<p>REACH: Wharton UPenn, Williams, Columbia
High Matches/Low Reaches: Northwestern, Middlebury
Safeties: already accepted</p>
<p>Reach:
Stanford, Brown, Duke, Dartmouth, and Georgetown.</p>
<p>Target:
University of Virginia, University of Michigan, Notre Dame.</p>
<p>Safety:
Marshall (already accepted).</p>
<p>Reach: Harvard, Duke, Cornell
Target: Cambridge (i'm from UK XP)
Safety: St Andrews, Edinburgh (got offers already)</p>
<p>Deferred is NOT the same as rejected.</p>
<p>yeah, deferral isn't rejection.. granted, only a handful of deferred people end up getting accepted (since they're now in the RD pool, along with 15,000 other people), but it's not impossible to get in... actually, this can be your opportunity to add to your application or to give them anything extra that you wish they would have known about for EA</p>
<p>Your usual, I guess. I was deferred.</p>
<p>High Reach: Harvard, Stanford
Reach: Princeton (double-plus legacy), Brown, Penn
Low Reach/High Match: Northwestern, WashU
Match/Safety: Boston College, Macalester (already accepted)</p>
<p>Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Chicago, and UGA. I'm not counting on Stanford or Columbia at all, Penn seems to like my school, Chicago and I are a really good fit, and UGA is near certain. Harvard I'm eh about my chances, Princeton for some reason I feel okay about.</p>
<p>very high reach: williams, welllslley, uwash
high reach: lesley
reach: SUNY farmindale, wilberforce
should i apply to some more matches? if i apply to enough reaches, one of them is bound to let me in right? ;S</p>
<p>^ not necessarily.. some people have been denied from all their reach schools in the past; i wouldn't take any chances</p>
