[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the headline of this post should be "do you know anyone rejected from all their safeties and matches" since that appears to be the question.

Since "rejected from reach" by definition is the expected result.[/quote]

If they were rejected from safety, it wasn't a safety. IMO schools like GMU, Towson, ODU--Those are true foolproof safeties in my opinion for a high stat student. [/quote]

Mine was rejected by her most "safe" safety by admissions terms. (>80% of applicants,  so should have bern very safe). Got into 2 Ivies and another top 10. I think there were communication issues in admissions.  They made her a finalist for their top scholarship,  then rejected her for applied music (she got into umd with major performance scholarship so that seemed odd), then never responded about the liberal arts admission or the scholarship (for which they made her write a big essay). Dean was very apologetic when I informed him of the process. So weird. All this to say, it does happen. I think she also got yield protected from a hard target. Had excellent connection with department chair who informed her that her supplement earned their "highest marks," and invested time and interest in her. She was waitlisted there. But,  she has great options,  so no complaints here![/quote]
