[quote=Anonymous]My kids are younger but I remember years ago a woman in my class who was all-around amazing (4.0 gpa, played in a youth symphony, excelled at a sport etc) was rejected by the ivy she applied to early. We were all shocked.

A mother of another student, who worked in an admissions office at an elite university, told her she should reapply in the “regular” round. Apparently that’s allowed if you’re rejected (vs waitlisted). The mother was saying it was possible they didn’t receive part of her application.

In December that year she applied to a different Ivy (Dartmouth) and got an acceptance letter from them about a two weeks later (right when we all got back from winter break). She was very confused since she wasn’t expecting a letter yet, so she brought it to class and asked our chem teacher what it meant. I remember the chem teacher saying “it means you got into Dartmouth” and we were all so excited - including the woman who got the letter. I never understood why the other university rejected her.
