Among students who applied to 16 or more schools, 43% received at least one waitlist from a school with an acceptance rate below 15%.

[Niche @NicheSocial]

Students applying to 16+ colleges were nearly 10x more likely to be waitlisted than students applying to just 1–3 schools.

Headline stats blur big differences. But grads’ outcomes depend heavily on industry, credentials, and where hiring is actually happening.

Niche Survey: Concern about AI replacing jobs is roughly twice as high among 25–34 year olds as those 55-65.
