Summary of Application Experience
7/7 waitlists. Accepted to my top choice off of waitlist.
Welp it's May 15th and it's all done. It sucked being on so many waitlists but I eventually got in and it was my first choice too. I was on the high priority waitlist for stony brook so that could very well have turned into an acceptance I was also very high up on Iowa's waitlist (top 20).
If you're on a buttload of waitlists don't give up! Send some really sincere letters to the places you love the most.
