<p>Sounds like a typical “perfect stats but didn’t get accepted anywhere” thread to me :P</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, where are you going?</p>

<p>My guess:
Rejected from HYP, Columbia, and Wharton, but accepted from everywhere else.</p>

5

<p>Rejected at H, Y; Waitlisted at Princeton, Wharton, Columbia, Northwestern
My Why Northwestern essay kinda sucked and had pretty generic stuff. Yield protection I think. </p>

<p>Accepted everywhere else. Kinda annoying though that I got waitlisted at P, W, and C. Maybe one of them will pick me up off the waitlist? Anybody know the odds of that happening? </p>

<p>In the end, I think I got what I deserved. </p>

<p>It was a close call between Duke, Dart, and Chicago. Ended up picking Chicago. Maroons '17!!!</p>

<p>Chicago is an absolutely wonderful school. Enjoy your time there!</p>
