D got admit letter on Friday with PID with no phone call . Mocha_star-we were in the same boat as to being puzzled about why waitlist. D got into Vassar, Grinnell, Oberlin, Reed with merit scholarships to all. She was accepted to all schools she applied to with UNC the only waitlist. D was National Merit, lots of good AP scores, Governor's School, 2 varsity sports,extra curricular and instate. D thinks UNC didn't like her essay.D's sticking with Grinnell. I offered her a car to stay instate and go to Carolina instead (8k a year cheaper than Grinnell with scholarship and aid). My son is dumbfounded about her choice and would go for the car! I guess D doesn't want to go to Mom's old school.
