| My son is also on the list - this is how I see it. They probably do rank and they also have different stacks of apps based on various criteria: gender, race, region of country, foreign, athlete, etc and all permutations of these. When a student drops off the admit list, they are replaced with a "similar" student from the waitlist based on the criteria mentioned above. They have taken 20 so far...okay so let's wait to see how this unfolds between now and July or August. Just wrap your mind around the school you have sent your deposit to and if Amherst calls in August your in! If not, you're also in at your other school. |
