Where else did you apply to?

Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Georgetown, Williams, Swarthmore, BU, Claremont McKenna, UCLA, Berkeley, UC Irvine, UOregon, SDSU and one other I can’t remember.

A far range - I’d suggest applying to more small liberal arts schools or public schools, even if you are set on an Ivy. I was rejected from Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Georgetown and Swarthmore, waitlisted at Williams.

Admissions decisions this year were absolutely ludicrous - the valedictorian at my school, who is probably a certified genius with a W GPA of 4.5+, was rejected from all of the Ivies.

They’ll be the same or worse next year.
