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

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.

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.

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

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.
