<p>I never really thought about the possiblity of being waitlisted when I was doing my applications, I just thought about being accepted or rejected, but now I've been waitlisted by two schools. Hmm. </p>
<p>So yeah, 7 acceptances, 2 waitlists, 1 rejection. Still waiting for one college. Not bad.</p>
<p>JohnC: Not sure if you included a link or you just wanted us to know that this would be a good title for an article??</p>
<p>Waitlisted at 5: Middlebury, Haverford, Wesleyan, Vassar, and Hamilton
UGH This really sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>In my day, I applied to three schools, got accepted into two and made a simple decision. I even graduated with the major I went to school for. My wife did the same thing (although she might have applied to four?).<br>
Our D1 applied to 14 schools. There was some logic behind her rationale. For one thing, she's not entirely sure what she wants to major in, just somewhere or something in the medical field. So, three schools for a specific competitive program, three other schools for another specific, extremely competitive program, four schools (all Div III) that track coaches recruited her that she didn't want to reject out of hand (it feels nice to be wanted), two state schools, and two reaches (actually four reaches, but two of them included the track stuff). In addition, quite frankly, we wanted to see what might be offered in the way of money.</p>
<p>I think we are creating this mess by applying to so many schools.
I am astounded at kids who are applying to 14-15 schools!
To me 9 seems like you are really trying too hard!
I feel for the admission officers who are trying to figure out if student A will attend if admitted! This goes well beyond figuring out who the match is.</p>
<p>Only had this happen to me with Columbia. =/ Waitlisted.</p>
<p>I applied to 13 schools. I was rejected at one, waitlisted at four, and accepted by the rest.</p>
<p>Applied to 7 schools: accepted at UCSB, UCSD, UCLA, rejected at UCB and Yale, waitlisted at UPenn and Wellesley.</p>
<p>Waitlisted at my 2 top choices... Stanford and Princeton. Ugh. This really makes me angry.</p>
<p>accepted at nyu, williams, wellesley, univ of chicago, vassar, barnard
waitlisted at pomona
rejected from columbia and stanford which i knew were super reaches anyway</p>
<p>Waitlisted at Georgetown, Penn, Washu</p>
<p>Accepted at Chicago, Cornell</p>
<p>Rejected at Harvard, Williams</p>
<p>Pretty much worked out as I expected...</p>
<p>I got waitlisted at Princeton...which is probably the only school on my list that I would wait for in addition to Stanford. Argh!</p>
<p>Otherwise, rejected at Stanford and accepted into 5 UCs, Cornell, Duke, Rochester.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted at both Stanford AND Princeton. Painful.</p>
<p>I'm getting so tired of this! My daughter just got waitlisted at Cornell (Hotel School); add that to a rejection from Stanford on Friday and waitlist at Northwestern. The past week has been a roller-coaster! She got into her other schools though--BU (Hotel), Purdue (Hotel--safety), USC (Business), Berkeley, UCLA, and 4 other UC's. Given how crazy the UC admissions have been, I don't think she could have gone under four. She really did have reasons for each of the schools.</p>
<p>Accepted: Occidental College, UCI, UCSD, NYU, USC
Waitlisted: UChicago, Northwestern (Going to try for NU)
Rejected: UCLA, UCB, Stanford, Cornell, Columbia</p>
<p>Probably going to NYU, if I don't get off the waitlist at NU.</p>
<p>Waitlisted at Wharton :( </p>
<p>whats the chance in getting off? 1/2576587? YAY! WAHH!</p>
