In the late 90s I applied to Georgetown and GW. Was waitlisted at GT and accepted to GW with a very generous merit scholarship.

My kid did ED. One application, one admission.

I'm reading OP as saying 20 applications and only 1 admission "so far".

Back when I was applying, my friend, a good student from a suburban Chicago high school got rejected everywhere she applied. Late spring, she then applied and got into Connecticut College (perhaps through a connection). I always thought that ended pretty well considering.

1 safety. 19 reaches. Why not? It is a lottery and u should go for it as long as you have the safety.

This feels like a bad attempt to freak people out with the added bonus of twice mentioning submitting 20 applications.

Yeah, I'm assuming you don't know the fully story about where the kid applied or what his profile really was.

I’ve heard parents complaining that their DC wasn’t accepted to a school, when actually they were accepted, but not into the limited enrollment program they requested.

1 acceptance and they are done? Or 1 acceptance for now, and still waiting on others?

Agree. 20 schools is a lot...I find it hard to believe every single safety (if they truly were safeties) would reject this student.Sounds like an urban legend, IMHO.

Has this happened to anyone? One or less admission? Which school is it? How many did you apply? We had a friend’s son applied to 20 and received only 1 admission. This kid had perfect GPA and SAT and captain of a sports team.

I am worried because my non perfect in terms of stats kid (Perfect in my eyes) applied to 20, and so far, no admissions.
