who else got weird admissions results?

<p>here's mine:
WashU: Waitlist
MIT: Waitlist
Caltech: Waitlist
Rice: Accepted
UChicago: Waitlist
Cornell: Accepted
UPenn: Accepted
Columbia: Waitlist
Duke: Accepted
Princeton: Accepted
Yale: Accepted
Harvard: Rejected
Stanford: Rejected</p>

<p>And I'm an Asian male. I mean waitlist at WashU? really?</p>

<p>These don’t seem like such weird results. WashU just protecting its yield. You have some great choices! Don’t look back, just seize the day and pick one of your great choices.</p>

<p>^^Exactly. As a parent, lists like this make me happy. If you sit on CC long enough it’s easy to believe that if your kid doesn’t have a 5.2 GPA and a 2400 SAT score and hasn’t spent the last 4 years discovering new planets they are on the fast track to community college. This list shows that there are lots of things that go into the college admissions process. Congrats on your achievement!</p>

<p>You have excellent choices I cant believe you are annoyed at washington university st louis, an extremely competitive school.</p>

<p>I got pretty weird ones too:
waitlist: MIT, Pomona, Duke, Columbia, Brown
Accepted: U. Rochester, Hamilton, Swarthmore, Williams
Rej: Yale Stanford CMC
I mean the waitlists sort of made sense, but rejection from CMC and into Swat and Williams was really confusing. It was also one of my better interviews.</p>

<p>Oh trust me im definitely NOT complaining. It just seems as if sometimes the admissions system is weird. Im happy with my options :D</p>

<p>Mine were a little weird…</p>

<p>Northeastern: Accepted
Rutgers: Accepted
Fordham: Accepted
University of Southern California: Accepted
University of Michigan: Accepted
Brown: Waitlisted
Tulane: Waitlisted
Harvard: Rejected
Yale: Rejected</p>

<p>Interesting post! I think mine are weird, too…</p>

<p>Accepted: Princeton, Cornell, Wesleyan, Haverford, JHU, Berkeley, UCLA, USC
Waitlist: Harvard (legacy), Columbia, Chicago
Rejected: Dartmouth, Brown, Pomona, CMC, Tulane</p>

<p>???</p>

<p>I have a strange list as well:
Accepted at: Tulane, Miami of Ohio, Marquette, U of Minnesota, IA State
Out at: UW Madison, UVA, UNC, deferred then denied at U of Michigan and Villanova</p>

<p>See, its weird to me that tulane would reject you amd princeton accept you. Just doesnt make much sense! Its gotta be some weird tulane thing.</p>

<p>It’s not that weird. Tulane gets tons of applicants and they don’t want people who’d rather go elsewhere…</p>

<p>I’m not sure you can lump them all together and say the decisions are “weird.” It may look random on the surface, but each school has its own criteria for its decisions and how they want to build their incoming class.</p>

<p>And it really is an impressive list of acceptances…</p>

<p>mine were pretty ****ed up…</p>

<p>accepted: virginia, michigan, maryland, uc berkeley
waitlist: chicago, rice, harvard, brown
reject: duke, princeton, penn, yale, stanford, hopkins, mit, caltech</p>

<p>^ Yours aren’t weird at all. The 4 you got in have much higher acceptance rates than the ones you were rejected/waitlisted at. The only ones that are close are Cal/Rice/JHU.</p>

<p>yeah you’re right about that, i’m talking about the waitlist/reject differential though. seriously who gets waitlisted at harvard and then straight up rejected at duke hopkins and waitlist at rice. the berkeley accept + some waitlist/reject is a bit odd too.</p>

<p>^^^^^^^^ you</p>

<p>Hahaha, Wash U does have the nickname “Waitlist U.” From what I’ve gathered based on forums posts, demonstrated interest is a very big part of the decision calculus Wash U uses in their admission process, so many applicants whom you would expect to get admitted are often waitlisted or rejected at Wash U.</p>

<p>Harvard: accepted
Yale: accepted
Princeton: rejected
Columbia: rejected
UPenn: accepted
Brown: accepted
Dartmouth: accepted
Cornell: accepted
Stanford: accepted
Vanderbilt: accepted
Berkeley: accepted
UCLA: accepted
Michigan: accepted</p>

<p>Still kinda wondering why I got rejected from Princeton and Columbia, but oh well…</p>

<p>Go Blue!!</p>

<p>Impressive.</p>

<p>Seriously, aahs12, posting here is kind of just bragging.</p>
