Gutrade, getting rejected from one top school doesn't mean you're going to get rejected by all and I'm sure you will have a good selection of great schools to make a choice from.
However, I'd like to use you as Exhibit A that the worst dumb***** thing you can say to someone on CC is "You're in!" Also the inane futility of all the What Are My Chances questions and threads.
The HYPSM schools are the HYPSM schools for a reason...just getting outside the zone of those five schools improves your odds a lot.
You also might want to read the thread in the Parents Forum about what happened to all those who were rejected/deferred by their EA/ED school last year: virutally all of them had great outcomes. Hang in there.
Btw, the process is not arbitrary but neither is it determnistic.
And, sorry, Berkeley's deadline is dead dead dead. They get too many apps.
UBermensch, there are only around 1200 single-sitting 1600's a year, maybe 2000 dual-sitting 1600's...that would maybe fill Harvard and half of Yale. I have the stats buried somewhere.
