<p>Accepted Duke, Waitlisted Rice.</p>
<p>My friend: Waitlisted at U of C and Northwestern, accepted by Carnegie Mellon, WashU, Tufts, and the Cooper Union...</p>
<p>I was accepted by WashU and CMU, rejected by Cornell and UMich, waitlisted by RPI and Lehigh (LOL)</p>
<p>and wow, zappanfan, I had the same assortment.. washu, tufts, cooper union, and cmu</p>
<p>I have a friend who was rejected or waitlisted by 10/12 schools (still waiting to hear from Williams where he was deferred ED). Here's what happened:</p>
<p>Oberlin (rejection), Colby (waitlist), Carleton (waitlist), Swarthmore (rejection), Stanford (rejection), Grinnell (waitlist), Middlebury (waitlist), Macalester (waitlist), Yale (rejection), and Dartmouth (rejection).</p>
<p>Yesterday he found out he got into Princeton. With a full ride.</p>
<p>star_girl, you can't get any more arbitrary than that. I think you've just won the thread.</p>

<p>I'm having a <em>very</em> hard time buying this one, unless there is more info we are missing.</p>
<p>I'm thinking there had to be a <em>major</em> hook at Princeton for them to take someone that was waitlisted at Colby.</p>
<p>Nope, no hook. A lot of the waitlists were probably because he's an international seeking lots of aid, but Princeton isn't need blind for internationals either.</p>
<p>Oops, Princeton is need blind for internationals. Anyway...it's still pretty crazy.</p>
<p>Our kid was waitlisted by Duke, rejected by Stanford and Princeton -- and accepted at Harvard.</p>
<p>waitlisted and Wesleyan and Vassar, 15K scholarship to Oberlin.</p>
<p>I opened my Oberlin essay with "I promise I am not boring." That must be it.</p>
<p>Is the friend a Princeton legacy?</p>
<p>Nope. Just insanely lucky I guess. haha</p>
<p>Okay, star_girl still won. You've made this one grateful thread, yo.</p>
<p>Waitlisted TULANE</p>
<p>I'm laughing so hard right now. This is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Accepted to Tufts and BC, waitlisted at BU
