Hopefully we both get in from the waitlist with a Decent amount of Financial Aid, but, god forbid we don’t, I look forward to repeating this paranoia for the next two years.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. Probably won’t accept a spot on the waitlist, if that helps anyone else.</p>
<p>Alas, I have been rejected. Congrats to all who got in or waitlisted- this was a tough year!</p>
<p>I know this is slightly off-topic, but I am curious… For everyone (but mainly those rejected), where else have you gotten in/are you waiting for? And what are you thinking about your plans for next year now?</p>

WL Here, also at BU and Lewis &Clark
Denied at Bowdoin
Wating for USC, Emory, and Oxford (tomorrow) and Berkeley (Thursday)
Accepted into UCSB, UC Santa Cruz, CSU Monterey Bay, and University of Minnesota
Most Likely depositing at UCSB, unless i get good news from any of the four i’m waiting on, or I get a waitlist acceptance with decent FA</p>
<p>“About that application you sent to us at Reed College - we liked it. In fact, it inspired us to give you a quick glimpse of what’s ahead.”</p>
<p>Does this mean I was accepted?!</p>
<p>Waitlisted here. Honestly, I am really, really shocked. Congrats to all who were accepted!</p>

Lucky acceptance email
Congrats</p>
<p>@heybrahsupbrah & augustaaaa,</p>
<p>I have been waitlisted at Reed and UCLA. I’m actually thinking of putting a deposit down and UCSB too.
My other acceptances so far are Bard, Lewis & Clark, UCSB, UCSD, and UCI. Waiting on Barnard, Scripps, and Tufts… Although I’m not very hopeful for any of those. I’ve been rejected from most of the LACs I applied to (I guess I’m not interesting enough?)</p>
<p>Good luck to those on the waitlist!!!</p>
<p>ACCEPTED/////
Too excited to post stats right now. I’ll post stats later. Congrats 2 all who got in. (hope I’ll se u guys in the fall). Goodluck to those of you who have been waitlisted.(I still hope to see you guys in the fall). And to the other prospies, just know that its not the end - you’ll end up loving wherever you end up. cheers</p>
<p>waitlisted too. I am just curious, did it say anywhere on the rejection letters the acceptance rate/number of applicants? seems like a lot of people were waitlisted on here…</p>

<p>I’m on Oberlin’s waitlist and was accepted at Lewis & Clark, Willamette, New College of Florida, Hampshire, and Evergreen State with generous merit aid at all. My final choice is going to have to come down to need-based aid, which I have yet to receive any information on, as I applied to all of the schools I was admitted to EA or under rolling admissions. I’m really at a standstill right now, but I remain optimistic.</p>

Congrats on that Oberlin Waitlist, I was flat out rejected through EA</p>
<p>ACCEPTED. Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes.
Wait-listed at Oberlin, accepted to Smith and Macalester, rejected from UChicago. Feeling good!</p>
<p>@Catmajor: Reed will release its data set (acceptance rate, stats of admitted students, etc) for this year once the class of 2016 has officially enrolled. I do know that this year is supposed to be particularly selective, though.</p>
<p>S was accepted! But also got accepted to Caltech and W&M, with Cornell and Amherst to come later this week. Rejected by MIT. Which should he choose?</p>
<p>waitlisted as well. 
am a bit surprised too because other LACs accepted me. oh well, it was too far anyways (i’m from florida :P)</p>
<p>Waitlisted. I expected rejection so I’m relieved! Also WLed at Whitman and Macalester, so we’ll see how the dice rolls. </p>
<p>Good luck/congrats everyone!</p>
<p>@jmgradon: Congratulations to your son! It’s hard to say which school your son should choose from that list because they’re all so different. What’s most important to him? Course breadth? A like-minded community? Curriculum style? </p>
<p>Cornell and Caltech are large universities with more course offerings, a significantly larger student body, no liberal arts curriculum, a more diverse student body (political leanings, interests, etc), and the “household name” quality. Most classes will be in large lecture halls and student-professor relationships will be difficult, if not impossible, to come by. </p>
<p>Reed, Amherst, and W&M, by contrast, do offer close relationships with professors and a liberal arts curriculum. They have fairly distinct student bodies. It’s also important to note that Amherst has an open curriculum, while W&M and Reed have structured general education requirements. </p>
<p>Aspects of Reed to consider: Reed’s classes are significantly more discussion-based and its curriculum is more abstract (no applied math classes, for instance). Its students are, in general, far more liberal than those of the other schools on your son’s list–Reed markets itself as a place for “iconoclastic, intellectual, academically masochistic, and quirky” types and its student body reflects that. Reed has a nuclear reactor. A very high percentage of Reed’s science students perform research with their professors.</p>
<p>I am, of course, skewed towards Reed (I was admitted under EDII), but I recognize that it’s not the best place for everyone just because it’s the best place for me. Basically, I think the best choice for your son depends on his idea of an optimal undergraduate experience.</p>
<p>Accepted!! wow wow wow, so grateful the admissions committee saw something in me in what seems to be such a competitive year. I’m up for posting stats, but as it’s late I think I’ll save that particular project for tomorrow.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone accepted and to those who received disappointing news, don’t let it get you down, you end up exactly where you ought to in time. Take it from the girl who got rejected from every single school last year: I know your pain, really. It ended up being one of the best things that ever happened to me. If you’re not happy with your choices (or even if you are, for that matter), take a gap year. Everyone should seriously consider it. </p>
<p>If you’d like some friendly words of advice from someone who’s been through all that, message me, I’d be happy to share my experience!</p>
