[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:[/li][/ul]General Comments: Rejected from yale, princeton, penn, tufts, swarthmore, williams, now harvard after being waitlisted, still waitlisted at brown/amherst. Accepted at Dartmouth + WUSTL but they were too expensive. I’ll hold on to the waitlists but 99.9% sure about w&l. Good luck everyone next year =D !</p>
