Its as much about luck as anything else- there are so many well qualified applicants to these top liberal arts schools (anything in the US News top 10 for LACs) that there are just not enough slots to go around. Some perfectly well qualified applicant will get waitlisted at Bowdoin and accepted at Middlebury and vice versa. Be sure you have some at least slightly less competitive LACs if you are applying to the top LACs!
