Accepting a Spot on the Wait List

<p>OP: like you I have some what competitive stats and have been rejected at 3/4 ivies (I’m also waitlisted at brown) as well as two other reach schools. Unlike you, the only other “good” school I got into is UMich and it’s unfortunately not an option due to no financial aid. </p>

<p>You have a better situation and I congratulate you on your acceptances to Georgetown and JHU. Both are excellent schools. The question you have to ask yourself now is will you be able to stay on the waitlist and still be happy at GT or JHU if it doesn’t work out. If yes then I say go for it.</p>
