So i got waitlisted... can anyone tell me any statistics or hopes for waitlist candidates? How many do they waitlist (i just got waitlisted by Wash U St Louis and it seems that they waitlisted almost everyone who wasnt accepted to help their matriculation rates...)

there is not much chance at all that you will get on through the waitlist... there's not much point in even going on the waitlist because a couple years back only 1 person from around 900 waitlisted got accepted. don't even bother

Actually, if you look at last year's threads, quite a few people from CC got in off the waitlist.

It changes year to year. And I would NEVER not do something because the chances are slim. Not ever. All of you, good luck! And if UNC doesn't work out, I hope that you all find a school that you're truly in love with and forget that UNC ever existed.

good message from cloying! i've been told that the "untold" truth about waitlists in general, is that the few who get in from them are not necessarily the strongest candidates, but will add to what the school NEEDS demographically, to make their own reported demographics look better,ie, males favored over females, different ethnic/racial groups, distant geographical areas from the school, etc. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!

I was deferred and the highest SAT score that anyone has scored to get into Carolina from my school since it opended (6 years ago) was a 1240

I will take NC State and be happy about it

From the numbers I've seen, more people get in off waitlists from WUSTL than UNC but I think that has more to do with the number of people who apply to WUSTL just for prestige and then don't go because of the large tuition costs. The percentage of people who enroll at UNC that were accepted is 25% more than at WUSTL.
