<p>Daughter’s classmate was admitted from SMU waitlist late last week.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>projectmom1 I can see where you got your name from :slight_smile: Nice job, thanks!</p>

364

<p>The Universitiy of Pennsylvania, has only called transfer students off the waitlist, and graduate school students. Entering undergrads have not been called as yet.</p>

365

<p>As there are at least three schools known as UW it would help if the one going to waitlist was more clearly noted as Udub, UW or UWyo.</p>

366

<p>*Adding SMU and clarifying University Washington UW post.</p>

<p>Northwestern has closed their waitlist. I just got the email. This makes me extremely sad. :(</p>

368

<p>Perplexity: You should be very proud of yourself for making the waitlist! Clearly, you are an awesome student!</p>

369

<p>projectmom - you are awesome for doing this. It’s a wonderful service to everybody.</p>

<p>Congrats to anyone on a WL - it is truly an accomplishment.</p>

<p>My D is turning down Brandeis. I hope someone can happily take that spot.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

370

<p>Thank you, Emmybet! Good luck to your D! I am very happy to help out. I have learned so much about all the colleges across the nation from this site and there are some amazingly talented students and awesome parents here. Every single one should be very proud and excited about the journey forward.</p>

371

<p>DS was part of the Northwestern WL and got the WL is now closed email as well. Glad he tried. On a positive note he is very happy with where he is going and soon this will be a distant memory. </p>

<p>He was not close to his GC so this was our only life line for news the last couple weeks.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone who is still waiting for final closure. DS has a few friends in the same situation.</p>

372

<p>HogieOR and perplexity215 - Sorry you got shut out. My son tried to assist all of you as he decided to decline his spot at Northwestern. It was a tough decision for him as NW was always one of his top choices. Good luck with your decisions.</p>

373

<p>Wesleyan said that it is extremely unlikely that they will go to their waitlist in an email yesterday!</p>

374

<p>Has anyone heard of a second wave of waitlist admissions, like at the LACs, this week?</p>

375

<p>Not really…of all the “Sisters” colleges i.e. Smith, Mt. Holyoke, etc. only Wellesley so far has gone to the WL even for a first round. So not sure if this is accurate.</p>

376

<p>A couple of days ago Stanford said: “we hit our yield targets and expect very little movement from the waitlist this year.”
How is it possible that in a year with record numbers in applications!!! (and Columbia going to the CommApp) most of the Adm. offices are able to say they increased their yields and that they are not going to the WLs??? please somebody explain (again)…</p>

377

<p>Is this a list of all the schools that went to there waitlists at one time or another, even though some have now closed and released their waitlists? Or should we be putting something on the line of the schools that have now closed their waitlists/</p>

378

<p>Add Bryn Mawr - we have acceptances reported on their waitlist thread.</p>

379

<p>Real-the number of college spots pretty much stays the same. If applications go from 5 per student to 10 per student then the overall yield across all colleges will go down by half.</p>

<p>Hypothetical example:
1,000 college spots
current 400 applicants 10 applications per person = 4,000 applications/1,000 = 25%
past 400 applicants 5 applications per person = 2,000 applications/1,000 = 50%</p>

380

<p>UCD: I thought the same thing yesterday…</p>

<p>If anyone has updates/closures etc, please feel free to copy/paste/and please add that the waitlist is closed…</p>

<p>i.e. Northwestern already emailed students that it was closed</p>
