Waitlisted- Where Else Did You Get In?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>did anyone feel like the colleges were very waitlist-happy this year? applicants from my school in the past have almost always gotten straight yes/no decisions (except from WashU...), but this year, so many people have gotten multiple waitlists.</p>

<p>ew. I guess it's the crazy over-application mentality now.</p>

<p>In at Emory, WashU, Chicago.
Rejected at MIT.
Waitlisted at Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, and Columbia.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what I'll be doing with my WL cards...paper airplanes? looking at all these posts, I'm just....meh.....it's all confusion! chaos! can we find an admissions counselor, tie him/her down, and force-feed him/her grapefruit rinds until he/she explains this all? please?</p>

<p>My D is in at Penn, Duke, Cornell, JHU, CMU, Notre Dame, and Michigan. </p>

<p>Rejected at Princeton, Yale, and Brown</p>

<p>This is so random!!!</p>

<p>I'm lucky I got waitlisted at Columbia...</p>

<p>Waitlisted: Pomona, Columbia, Rice, Hopkins
Accepted: Northwestern, Middlebury (probably going), Carnegie Mellon, Vanderbilt</p>

<p>So blablablablabla.</p>

<p>My D was accepted at CMU, Northeastern<em>, Drexel</em>, SUNY Stony Brook#, Cooper Union#, and Stevens#. Rejected at Caltech and MIT, waitlisted at Columbia (Fu). (* = partial scholarship, # = full scholarship)</p>

<p>She'll likely go to Stevens as she loved the school.</p>

<p>It is ironic how things work out. I feel like I put the least amount of effort into my Harvard application because I did not think I stood a chance at acceptence. </p>

<p>I hope 110% effort into my Columbia application (and personally thought my Why Columbia essay was impeccible, though I could be wrong), and got waitlisted. If I got into Columbia, I'd still go there over Harvard or MIT. Maybe I am just crazy.</p>
