Hey, everybody.
I was waitlisted and looking at statistics of their wait list options. (
Waitlisted & the Statistical Chances of Getting In ) shows the stats from 1999-2004 and I added 2005's stats.
This makes me wonder if, given that
zero waitlisted kids were admitted last year compared to 52, 33, 49, etc admitted women the years before, I/you/we have a chance at all this year. I don't know if they have a better idea of yield this year or it really is that

This year our applicant pool was the largest, most highly qualified, and most diverse group in the College’s history. Admission to Mount Holyoke has never been more competitive.

Looking at the numbers are depressing me...but I think I'm going to write Ms. Okay an email and ask her about the wait list option and when the door slams shut for waitlisted students...
