For those of you with the "kind of thick but not really thick" envelopes

<p>No Ivy League acceptances, 1 rejection (Columbia), and 3 Wait List offers (Harvard, Princeton, and Penn/Wharton)…Surprisingly, I was more honored than I was upset. I honestly only expected one acceptance if any, so I was surprised to find out that I was that close at three Ivies. Still, Harvard is definitely my number one choice, and I’ll do whatever I can to get in there. I’m going to visit the campus in two weeks and I’ve contacted the admissions office to see if I can possibly meet with someone. In the mean time, I’ll probably accept at Vassar or Boston College (if I can work out financial aid issues), but I’m really hoping for a lot of wait list admits this year!</p>
