Wait listed at 7 schools... unusual?

No one knows. All colleges have their own criteria to admit people, and your chance of getting in after being waitlisted at one particualr school has little to do with the fact that you got waitlisted at 6 other schools.

To prove my point, here’s the outcome of a guy from my country(these are for real):

Accepted at Drexel with ridiculously low aid
Rejected at Grinnell
Waitlisted at Colby
Accepted at UChicago with huge aid(almost 20000 $ more than he actually needs )

Does these result correlate in any predictable way? I’d say they don’t.
