[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waitlisted. Such a weird year. Waitlisted at georgetown, vanderbilt and davidson. Accepted to amherst, columbia and rice. [/quote] You weren't expecting to get accepted to ALL of the reach schools you applied to, were you? If so, that's unrealistic. [/quote] Agree. I get where you are coming from PP. Your kid got into single digit acceptance rate schools and waitlisted to slightly easier admits. Mine did, too. But with reaches the expectation is to get rejected from most or even all. With targets a fifty/fifty balance would be expected. There is no such thing as, "My kid got into Amherst, therefore he should have gotten into Georgetown." They are both reaches for anyone. Even in MY day, three decades ago, this was true.[/quote]
