<p>besides for tufts syndrome (the concept where colleges waitlist/reject top applicants they know they wont attend), has anyone been rejected/waitlisted to certain schools and then gotten in a better one? are admissions decisions at schools that are similarly competitive usually the same?</p>
<p>i got waitlisted at BC, but am really hoping to get into some schools that are even slightly more competitive (likely, or will i most likely get rejected from these schools?)</p>
<p>UCLA accepted
Pepperdine waitlisted.</p>
<p>haha therefore i dont care :)</p>
<p>University of Scranton waitlisted
Penn State U Park accepted
I picked Penn State</p>
<p>I just got into Boston College's Honors program, which totally shocked me since i didn't think i'd get into the school period.</p>
<p>waitlisted at lehigh, in at carnegie mellon (2nd time around)
go figure</p>
<p>There are a couple people (CareBear and myself included) I've seen that have been accepted to UCLA and rejected/waitlisted to Barnard and Wellesley.</p>
<p>So, who knows.</p>
