| I was told by an admissions counselor that everyone on the wait list will be given the option of a guarantee admission for Spring 09. I just called today and the form should be sent this week and there are two boxes. One to choose just the waitlist for Fall and another for the Spring guarantee. You can check both. They also said that if you are chosen off the waitlist you will hear by May 31. My husband said there are 3,000 on the waitlist and apprx. 200 will come off.
My D has Hartford, Pace NYC and Penn State Erie to start off at - but will probably transfer over in the Spring if she doesn't make it off the waitlist, but its not great that she has that she will have to settle into her first year twice. I'll probably let her spend a semester in NYC. Maybe will be an experience for her.
Don't know if anyone else noticed; but I thought it was incredibly competitive across the board at all schools this year. Too bad our kids had a peak year to contend with. There are alot of above average kids having problems. |
