Uh, this may be stupid, but how do you tell if you were waitlisted?

Congratulations to those of you who were accepted!! I am so happy for you and hope to see ALL of you on campus in the fall!! Congratulazioni!

Waitlisted? Don't give up hope! My boyfriend (Class of 2011) got in off the wait-list his year!

Denied? I PROMISE you, you will end up in a school that is even better for YOU than Davidson! My first choice denied me and I ended up very happy with my second choice

How much of a boost does ED play? Two people from my school applied ED with lower stats and got accepted.

Decision: Waitlisted

Objective:[ list][*] SAT I (breakdown): Didn't submit.[*] ACT: 33[*] SAT II: Didn't sumbit[*] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.8 I think?[*] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 11/300 - ish?[*] AP (place score in parenthesis): Chem (5); US History (5)[*] Senior Year Course Load: AP English Lit, AP English Language, AP Bio, AP Calc, Dual Credit Government, Dual Credit Econ[*] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Girl Scout Gold and Silver Awards
[/list]Subjective:
  • Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Girl Scouts, Key Club (VP and Treasurer), Beta Club, Varsity Academic Team, Spanish Club, Assistant Poll Manager... I forget what else.
  • Job/Work Experience: Tutoring
  • Volunteer/Community service: Girl Scouts, Key Club, Assistant Poll Manager, Beta Club
  • Essays: Probably pretty averate
  • Teacher Recommendation: Strong.
  • Counselor Rec: Probably pretty good?
  • Additional Rec: My peer one was a bit kitchy.

Other
  • State (if domestic applicant): SC -- but Charlotte Metro area
  • School Type: Public
  • Ethnicity: White
  • Gender: Femaile
  • Income Bracket: About 50-60k
  • Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): First generation
Reflection[list][*] Strengths: Stats I guess? Course load and whatnot.[*] Weaknesses: Extra curriculars... Especially with athletics.[*] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: A girl from my high school with very similar stats applied and was accepted ED. Also, I'm more of a science and math focus rather than a liberal arts focus like Davidson is structured toward. I don't play any sports and I didn't apply ED. Also, I am out of state, but still from the area.
