| apparently, at least for brown, they will send out letters at intervals saying something along the lines of, "we haven't closed the waitlist yet, and you are still on it..." etc. to the kids they dont accept. but basically you don't get rejected, just notified the waitlist is closed....in like, june : ( and i would guess that if you don't get in during the first round (which is now), you just fill in places of acceptees who abandoned their deposit to go to a school that accepted them off a waitlist. |

| twosonmom, I dont know about the others , but I definitely prefer the college i will be going to now(caltech) than the one i was going to go to prior to getting off the waitlist(i.e Penn)..
Caltech was always my no. 1..Penn did grow on me during the past few months, but not enough for me to choose Caltech over Penn..
to sum it up, I always loved the school i was waitlisted at..i definitely liked Penn a lot more recently than i did in the beginning but just not enough to make me choose it over caltech..
Did your son get off the waitlist yet? | |

| sushi - yeah sometime in July. Until then, they may still have some ripple-down openings from other openings at other schools. Think of it as Chinese water torture... | |

| anuj44- No we haven't heard anything yet. I am not sure what would happen if he did get in. He really is excited about the school he is now planning on going to ( which his father and I always thought was the "best" fit for him academically ), but the other school was his "first" choice so we would have supported whatever decision he made. He has been filling out housing info and one of his good friends will be going to the same school as he will be going to so we no longer hear anything about "THE" school.
As I said in my previous post, I think it is highly unlikely he will get off the waitlist, but I will be very glad when this whole process is over!!
Congrats to all you students who do get off the waitlist!! | |

| 051407 I am an international student(from India)..and if it helps i just told Penn i wont be coming(i had paid my deposit there) so that opens up one more spot..go grab it! : )
chacha(wasnt it twosonmom?) best of luck..sounds like he will enjoy more at his "fit" rather than his "first" choice..I do agree though-whether it is an acceptance or a reject, it does help bring closure to the whole college application process.. | |
