[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No acceptances so far.  Applied to six, with three rejections (2 after deferrals for EA and ED), and now on 3 waitlists.  Was outright rejected by "safety" school.  We probably needed a REAL safety (hindsight).  Didn't apply to Ivies, but comparably selective schools.  It's been sobering.  We're now just praying for a wait list spot.  So yes, brutal for us anyway.[/quote]

We are "sort of" in the same boat....several "rejects".  Accepted at one safety (but DC doesn't want to attend).  5, yes count them 5, waitlists.  All of the wait lists were schools clearly in reach.  School counselor stunned (as are we).  Go figure.  Holistic admissions at work.  [/quote]

That happened to my DC last year. 4 waitlists at schools that should have been well within reach.  2 of the schools didn't even go to the WL, the other 2 barely did and DC wasn't one of the lucky ones. Accepted at 3 safeties (although all 3 were schools she would have been fine with attending). The silver lining is that she ended up very happy at her choice and while there was talk of transferring before she went she wouldn't even consider it now. [/quote]
