Can anyone beat 5 Waitlists? Forum

[Kevinlomax]

Waitlisted at 5, accepted at 2, rejected at 1

Any on more than 5 waitlists or am i a special snowflake?

[rosebowlchamps100]

I am on 9... Only plan on attending 5 of those though.

[SteelPenguin]

Yes

[rigoding]

I'm on 6. Expecting a 7th soon

[Kevinlomax]

Sooooo frustrating. Nothing like keeping your hopes up for a 10-15 % chance of acceptance

[JRO1989]

Got my 8th today. Only plan on keeping up with 3-4 though.

I hit 7 this cycle. Only still on one. Withdrew from the rest. Can't complain at all about my final outcome but I essentially got my acceptances first - which made me quite optimistic for the rest of the decisions - and then it rained WLs.

On 6 currently.

Must be the hockey avatars.

Don't get discouraged. A friend of mine was on 6 waitlists two cycles ago, and she eventually get into her first choice.

Don't give up hope. I am waitlisted at 4 schools but got off of one already. Some of it may be YP.

6, a columbia hold, and a de facto northwestern hold.

four here, but anticipating at least one more (hi cornell)

[Yazzzay]

Was on 4 last cycle, and got rejected from all 4 in August. Talk about a crappy summer...

[croissantlover]

Waitlisted at 6 (withdrew from 3), expecting the 7th and the 8th, and want to attend only 1.

I've got 7. Glad I'm not the only one riding it out for a handful of schools.

[Lightworks]

3 acceptances, 2 rejections, 2 holds, 5 waitlists

[Strongfaithgirl]

Currently on 7. are any of you guys withdrawing your applications?

[wealtheow]

You should WD GULC in an epic way...

[Baby_Got_Feuerbach]

Three as of right now, expecting three more.

I withdrew two since I was admitted to better schools and those two were a surprise I wasn't an autoadmit. The other 5 were my 3 "reach" schools and my top 2 standard schools. Hypothetically if I was accepted to one of the schools I define as "standard" I would still ride the waitlist for the 3 reach schools but drop the other "standard" school.

9 holds!
