[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 in the opposite position in that DC was 7/7, but none of the schools was really a reach, and most of them are schools that don't get a lot of love on DCUM.  Now we are seeing some of DC's classmates get into higher ranked schools that were reaches for them, and wondering if we should have been more insistent that DC aim higher and not be so cautious.  But DC seems happy with options so we are making the best of it and telling ourselves you can get a good education at many schools, so why sweat it, particularly after the fact.  GL with the wait lists - there will be something out there for your DC.[/quote]
