<p>In other threads etc. I have heard of a college notorious for rejecting well qualified students (accepted to top schools) because the see these students as using them as a possible "fallback" and proactively try to block them. Someone I know said their son got accepted to UChicago and University of Richmond but "was strangely rejected at one of his fallbacks". I know some colleges block fallbacks but this college seems to be especially notorious. Does this ring any bells for anyone?</p>
<p>George Washington University</p>
<p>Colleges based on our Naviance where it seems you are more likely to get in if your stats are not TOO strong. </p>
<p>George Washington
Washington University St Louis
Bucknell
University of Michigan
Occidental
USC
Vassar</p>
<p>Yeah those sound about right, I saw on a post “rejected from one college notorious for rejecting fallbacks” without actually naming it and it was annoying me so thanks</p>
<p>Tufts university</p>
<p>Actually NOT Tufts. Tufts Syndrome was named for Tufts, but they haven’t practiced it in many years. There are some rejections near the top (i.e. it’s nobody’s safety), but far more people near the top got in. At GWU, everybody near the upper right corner was waitlisted.</p>

<p>Really? That’s good to know!</p>
<p>Yeah it’s sounding more and more like George Washington U was the college they were referencing</p>
