3 reaches. rejected at Penn, waitlisted at JHU, and almost certainly rejected at USC. Thank goodness I have 2 solid matches to fall back on (+ 3 others). No regrets though.
The latter was due to my parents wanting me to apply to certain schools. Almost half of my acceptances were due to the pressure from my parents...even though personal "fit", for them, was not a factor. They threatened, so I caved.
Also, about half of the rejections/waitlist were also due to my parentals. Life definately would have been simpler had they left me to my own devices. Would have cut applications to about 9-10. And, the pattern would have been a bit more normal.
4 acceptances, 8 waitlists (!)(LOL), 5 rejections.
For awhile there it was waitlist after waitlist - it seemed like I was being waitlisted at every college in the world. The rejections were all from ivies.. more or less expected, hahah.
rejected from stanford, mit, brown (top choice, too ) guh. at least i got upenn. its not wharton or anything, though, so i guess it's nothing to gloat about.
