<p>Right. Kinda wondering about this. Example: You wrote really long "love" essays for your top choices, kept e-mailing your regional officers to show your "continued" interest (not too overboard), updating them on recent achievements periodically, interviews went splendidly with you gushing over your favorite school, etc. Then did all this backfire you recently? Were you shocked after all that to receive waitlists or perhaps even rejections. (Case study: applies to schools and students whose grades kinda correlate to avoid the reach schools dilemma).</p>
<p>I don't know if it's possible to tell whether you got rejected for showing too much interest (if there even is such a thing), as opposed to just by chance not getting in a match school.</p>
