<p>How many of you were rejected by a college that you thought would accept you and accepted by a comparable or more selective school?</p>
<p>I'll start: I received an offer of admission from Wesleyan and a rejection from Vassar. I know the contrast between these two schools is not unusually stark, but it still strikes me as kind of aberrant.</p>
<p>I've always viewed NYU and BC as roughly equal in selectivity. I got waitlisted at the latter and a scholarship from the former. Go figure.</p>
<p>Waitlisted at Boston College and Lehigh
Accepted at Vanderbilt</p>
<p>Anybody else out there in CC-land?</p>
<p>Rejected northwestern and tufts</p>
<p>but accepted ucb (in state), brown, princeton, chicago</p>
<p>accepted Wesleyan and Vassar, waitlisted by American</p>
<p>Rejected by UCSD.</p>
<p>Accepted by UCLA and Notre Dame.</p>
<p>Deferred(expecting rejection as I didn't send more info or grades or anything) at University of Michigan. I'm guessing it was because I didn't get my app in by the ER deadline though.</p>
<p>Accepted at Pomona.</p>
<p>Accepted UPenn, rejected Tufts. I thought Tufts didn't have Tuft's syndrome...</p>
<p>for my friend:
Accepted Brown, Penn, JHU Biomed, Carnegie Mellon [with a hefty scholarship and told he was in the top 1% of applicants]</p>
<p>Waitlisted Tufts</p>
<p>I guess Tufts Syndrome is an appropriate name</p>
<p>Accepted UC Berkeley, Stanford, Swarthmore, Princeton, Pomona, Wesleyan</p>
<p>Rejected UCLA (with legacy status, if that even counts at UCs)</p>
<p>UC Decisions seemed overly arbitrary this year...</p>
<p>Accepted: UCLA, Northwestern, Wesleyan, Vassar, Brandeis, Brown, Columbia, Princeton</p>
<p>Rejected UC Berkeley
(and Harvard, but that wasn't strange, haha)</p>
<p>for my friend:
accepted at UCLA and UC Berkeley with a 1790 SAT.</p>
<p>Inexplicable? Try getting waitlisted at HYPSM...all of them</p>
<p>Rejected from Tufts and Cornell, but accepted to DARTMOUTH.</p>
<p>:P I never really liked Cornell anyway.</p>
<p>waitlisted at both lafayette(a safety) and carnegie mellon CIT(high match-low reach)</p>
<p>accepted at BC, but GSPed at NYU</p>
<p>Accepted at Smith, waitlisted at Occidental</p>
<p>Just got straight up rejected by Brown...</p>
<p>Waitlisted at JHU (applied BME)</p>
