<p>I suppose I’m in a similar situation. I applied to all eight Ivies, include Yale SCEA, and was ultimately waitlisted at Brown and Cornell and rejected from the other six. I was accepted at Notre Dame and UCBerkeley.</p>
<p>I know I’ll probably end up at Berkeley, but I’m remaining on Brown’s waitlist and I have every intention of doing all that I can to get off of it. If it works out, I can go to Brown (though I’ve already decided I won’t accept a z-list offer). If not, I’ll go to UCBerkeley and life will, by some surely inconceivable miracle, go on.</p>
<p>In the end, it’s not the college that makes a person successful. It’s the person that makes the person successful. That being said, best of luck to whatever you choose to do, and congratulations on your acceptances and waitlisting at Brown.</p>
