[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Senior 24, applied to 5.  1 deliberately-chosen Ivy, 4 state flagships.  Going to overall top choice U of M.  Admitted to 4 flagships. Waitlisted Cornell. Did not send LOCI.  Reasonable Cornell RD app.  Might have had luck with WL but many students choose Michigan over Cornell (they have some key similarities - both schools are great - legacy ties to both).  Parents felt student would be happier at U of M (probably easier with same amount of learning accomplished, closer to home, same pull in desired job markets).  Pls do not say anything crappy in response about Cornell or Michigan - TIA.  In retrospect, did not want Cornell enough to ED and therefore it made sense for Cornell to WL and check true level of interest.  Huge cost difference for full-pay family.  Maybe $200K.[/quote]

That's an awesome result--congratulations![/quote]

I could have written this! Though my kid was deferred ED at Cornell, got in EA to Michigan and is very happily heading to Michigan after not waiting for regular decision from Cornell. Both are fantastic and similar schools and in the end happy with how things worked out. See you in A2! :-)[/quote]
