Hi Knickknack, I don't know exactly what she did--she's not an Olympic athlete, but she does have a 4.0; I know she expressed strong interest, particularly since her twin was admitted and she was on the waitlist and they wanted to go to school together.

Hey guys, i called up the admissions office, who told me that they took a "small number" of students off the waitlist last week. The list is still open in response to other schools, etc...

^^Thanks for letting us know. Are you sure that you made the right decision? I don't trust the kids to design their own curriculum.

Dear Slim2None,

I realize that it has been quite some time since you were first offered a place on our waiting list, and I'd like to give you an update on where things stand with our entering class.

Currently, the number of students who are planning to enroll at Dartmouth this fall is slightly over the figure that we originally anticipated. As the summer progresses, we expect this number to decline. However, it is not clear whether or not we will be able to make any additional offers of admission.

Should additional places in the entering class become available, we will review your candidacy along with the other candidacies of those who have chosen to remain active on our waiting list.

You have been very patient as the weeks have passed, and I sincerely appreciate this. My hope is that we will be able to resolve the status of your candidacy within the coming weeks.

If you would prefer that we not consider your candidacy any further, it would be helpful to us and to other candidates if you withdraw your name from our waiting list. If you would like to withdraw your name from our waiting list, you may do so either via email to <admissions.office@dartmouth.edu> or by logging into the Dartmouth Student Information System at the following url:

<http://www.dartmouth.edu/apply/admissions/status/>

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us by replying to this email.

Thank you for your patience and we will work to bring our waiting list activity to a close as soon as possible.

Sincere regards,
Maria Laskaris
Dean of Admissionsand Financial Aid

Hey guys, I'm not fresh., but I'm on the transfer waitlist. I'm just curious, how long has it been now, almost two months since you were placed on the waitlist? Did they give you a time table in your admission decision for the waitlist? When I got mine a week ago, they said sometime after May 29th I should hear something, but I have not a clue how this process works.
