[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different poster.  Legacy.  DD rejected from Duke.  Applied ED and rejected in RD round.  Not happy to see all of this waitlist movement.  I see you, Enraged.   [/quote]

DP. yeah, it's feeling incredibly, incredibly random this year.
I know a half dozen kids who were waitlisted or rejected.  Same level kids.  Some given waitlist spots, some given rejection spots. Now the waitlisted ones have a second life. [/quote]

That's life. It sucks. Some people face this disappointment early in life, and others later. Sorry for all of these kids, in this crazy year.

It's also why you apply to 20+ schools in RD. This is proof that have a small list screws you over.
Hint: don't listen to the posters who tell you to only apply to 3-4 reaches.
[b]My kid applied to 22 (yes 22) schools. Including 12 reaches.
Happy with the T10 outcome.[/b][/quote]
Imagine entire schools with this type of kid. Yikes![/quote]

Fair, but for those who can hack it they are phenomenal places with boundless opportunities. They all have 96%+ return rate after freshman year, so they must not be terrible[/quote]
The kids are programmed to love it. And they will do well with it, don’t get me wrong. Whether filling up schools with the same personality type is good for the schools or for the kids attending, in the long run, is a different question entirely.[/quote]
