<p>Nice article. I understand it very well. I was rejected by one of my reach schools, accepted with good (but not good enough scholarship/fin aid) at another, waitlisted at a third, and waitlisted for the top scholarship at state school, and waitlisted for a special program at the school (granted, my app was 2 months late, didn’t know about it). Fortunately though, after writing a very long (4 page) letter with updates of things that’ve been going one, and sending in some other stuff, I got off the waitlist for my first choice school. :)</p>
<p>One plus to having been resigned to the state school is that I wasn’t required to pay a $500 deposit, so I won’t end up losing anything except a $25 housing deposit.</p>
