| i know this is in the parent's forum and i'm a kid, but i just want to say that from a kid's perspective, waitlisting is much, much worse. we have waited SO long to hear whether or not our colleges want us, and sure, when i logged on to the penn and brown websites, i expected to get rejected, and i felt better when i saw i was waitlisted. but being waitlisted for these months and not knowing when or if you'll get that lucky call is horrible. waitlists give you that tiny bit of hope that you'll get in, and you want to believe it soooo badly, but the truth is, you probably won't ever get that call. i'm not saying that schools shouldn't have waitlists, because it's very useful for them, but it is pure misery for us kids. |
