<p>fusiondog - sorry to hear that you were rejected. My s was waitlisted last year OOS - with top-notch stats. I think not being in the top 5% hurt him though - and probably hurt you as well. In any case, he applied to be on the waitlist, wrote letters, but no go. Not a problem though!
Looks like you have some excellent choices - congratulations on your admits to some very tough schools and the great scholarships. BTW -someone in our neighborhood was rejected at UVA and admitted at P a few years ago - LOL. UVA can be tough OOS -especially for kids from NJ and PA. Don’t sweat it.</p>
