How many are legit applicants?

<p>

</p>

<p>Thank you JHS for pointing this out. Top applicants (and their parents) need to remember this in order to keep their sanity, especially on C.C. </p>

<p>People here tend to focus on the negative. True, lots of top applicants are disappointed every year but thousands are accepted to multiple top colleges every year. The same results threads that describe applicants rejected by multiple ivies also contain many posts of applicants accepted into multiple top colleges. </p>

<p>Yes, I have seen the “Andison” thread, but that thread is famous on CC precisely because it was such a rare event- a top applicant not getting into any college from a fairly reasonable list. You wouldn’t be able to create much of a thread on the story of a top applicant that got into H, Y and P and his/her safety.</p>
