| Not to be a d-bag or anything, but you should remember that getting off the waitlist at these selective schools is really really hard. I'm in the same position as you, except at a different school. I think that while it's good to be hopeful, realize that a school like Duke might not even use the waitlist this year, and if they do, they'd probably take at most around 100 people, which, assuming their waitlist is around 1000, would only translate to a 10% acceptance rate. |
