So much disappointment this week

[Anonymous]

After a week of so many rejections and waitlists, I'm finding it hard to make sense of it all and struggling to know the best way to help my DD. Brutal week.

I’m sorry. Just know she’ll end up in a place that is right for her.

Yeah it’s so disheartening to have worked this hard done everything right and be rejected.

I really believe waitlists are going to move like never before given the surge in # of apps per student and you can attend only one school. I think schools will dramatically undershoot yield and need to go to the waitlist. I hope she is on a few waitlists. Hang in there. It will get better.

I know you mean well but you don’t know that is true at all. Saying things like “everything always works out for the best” just isn’t true.

OP, my kid has also had a rough time. I am sorry your daughter is, too.

With you, OP. Brutal week. DD pulled apps from the rest because it’s just been too stressful and disappointing.

I think schools accepted significant numbers ED, but agree wait lists will move. Unfortunately, we likely won't see movement before 5/1, when deposits are due.

Pulling apps now?? I don't get it. What does that accomplish? I assume your DD has an acceptance she's happy with?

Parent of DC who applied last year. We said the same thing. The waitlists will move. They didn’t. Focus on the acceptances, have hope for the remaining, but don’t hold out for a waitlist. The chances are so small.

How is your kid now? Where did they end up?

There is something called The Space Available Survey which comes out in May which is a good last resort. Or a rolling school, apply now. For a high stat student, there may be some possibilities.

Sorry OP. Does your kid have one acceptance so far, I hope?

DC was waitlisted at Notre Dame and Georgetown. Went to USC. Very happy with the choice one year later.

I would love to know stats and schools and finances.

My unhooked white ds with 1330/3.8 at a crappy public has gotten in everywhere. Top 30-50. Full pay.
