<p>UCLA and UC Berkeley. I'm in-state too. Ugh.</p>
<p>I got into USC in one of the earlier waves, significantly before the tsunami of acceptances. Its really been an odd admissions cycle, but I'm grateful for what I've got, and I guess theres always grad school.</p>
<p>JHU and BU Med (after interviews) =/ i was told the former was supposed to be a safety for me...but i guess they thought either i wasn't good enough or didn't fit the campus. The second one...well, I guess I couldn't have expected to have gotten in...! And I really didn't fit their campus, even if I loved it.</p>
<p>NYU, maybe they figured out that they were last on my list of 11.</p>
<p>goddesxx, what school in saskatoon do you go to? (i have been there actually....i think)
shout-out from the west-coast.
and what other schools did you apply to?</p>
<p>UCLA and Northwestern. But moreso for UCLA, as a lot of people/college counselor thought I was pretty much a shoo-in, whereas people who took significantly easier courses got in. It was a first choice of mine, so that was kind of a heartbreaker.</p>
<p>Sigh, this round of admissions has really been crazy. The UC decisions kinda slapped our grade in the face.</p>
<p>Accepted to Stanford, waitlisted at U Chicago... what? Very happy with the outcome, but also amused.</p>
<p>Mine have actually all been good, accepted to all, including Rochester, Pitt Honors, BU, UT Austin (out of state, and accepted to Plan II Honors, quite early as well...perhaps I did not face any out of state problems because of a high class rank?), and my top choice Georgetown. I won't be too shocked with Brown/Dartmouth rejections if they come just because of the unpredictability of the Ivies.</p>
<p>However, this thread appealed to me because I was just talking to my friend who was waitlisted at Vassar, Wesleyan, and SUNY Geneseo (!!!!) but accepted at Hunter College (Honors) and AMHERST.</p>
<p>....WAITLISTED at GENESEO. Who do they think they are? She got into freaking AMHERST.</p>
<p>waitlisted at UChicago, with scores very far above their average, and a total shoe-in with their "academic rigor" (um, hello, IB Diploma?). I think it's because i didn't aggressively pursue an interview...Agreed that the UCs are just totally wacky this year...some decent people got rejected from UCLA who definitely should've been in, and a bunch of people got in to UC Berkeley who definitely SHOULDN'T have gotten in....the UCs are just weird that way.</p>

perhaps U Chicago is practicing Tufts Syndrome.</p>
<p>ucsd... a bit less than 300 pts away :[</p>
<p>Hang in there. College admissions is A LOT of luck and can oftentimes depend on factors outside of your hands (e.g. the admissions counselor is having a bad day, they just saw a killer application before your great one - making yours less attractive).</p>
<p>Good news though, if you were good enough to get waitlisted at some of these schools, go to another of the same or slightly less competitive nature, have a stellar freshman year and then transfer.</p>
<p>Last year, I strongly believed that I would get into Cornell for sure.
I thought getting a 1560/1600 would make me a shoe-in, especially since I got into Duke (a 'more selective' college) the day before. :D
Cornell is cold and depressing while Duke is warm and happy anyway.</p>
<p>UCI.
I've gotten into schools of higher caliber with scholarships
likewise with 2060 SAT, and 32 ACT, and a good enough GPA to get in.
I should've gotten in-- even though I'm not going.
[instead of this other guy who hardly worked in HS with like a C-avg GPA and no extracurriculars]
so i'm like you bokken... yeah, the UCs are really weird this year. I mean I got rejected to all public schools I applied to except UCR, SUNY Binghamton, and Cal State Fullerton. Go me. </p>
<p>Nope I'm not bitter at all.
oh well, I'm going to a private school now.
oh well, my cornell acceptance letter is coming tomorrow. yup.
ohwellohwellohwellwlewlellew
weep. lol.</p>
<p>same here UCI!! i got into UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCD etc., but it doesn't matter anymore.</p>
<p>didnt get into northwestern</p>
<p>I don't think that U of Chicago practices Tufts syndrome in any way. There was a huge surge in applications this year with a commenserate drop in the admissions rate. Furthermore, Chicago looks for a specific type of student who will fit in, not only at grades and test scores, even though the grades and test scores of students attending Chicago are very close to those of students attending Stanford. Best of luck at Stanford. It's a great school.</p>
<p>waitlisted jhu...
i'd kind of like to know how many people are on their waitlist this year</p>
<p>but in all else so far, including kenyon and washington & lee</p>
<p>Northeastern. Got into much better schools lol.</p>
<p>waitlisted at Wooster. i was in the the middle, higher end, and also the middle-lower end of their stats, depending on what you were looking at. but yet i got in to Wittenberg....somehow doesn't make sense to me seeing as they're relatively similar in regards to academics in a way....</p>
<p>oh well!</p>
<p>Syracuse (newhouse) and Geneseo..both waitlist.</p>
