<p>Dartmouth had originally said they were unikely to use their waitlist, but have recently taken a few kids. I am assuming, though it may not be true at all, that there had to have been movement higher up for kids to leave Dartmouth.
Heard Yale just took a few students, for example. Princeton also said they wouldn’t be needing their list, since they already had 19 kids over target. Any chance that situation will change? They haven’t sent out definite “no” letters to wait list candidates yet.</p>
<p>At last Friday’s presentation on college admission during the P Reunion,
Dean Rapelye said that they do not expect to go to WL,
although WL won’t be officially “closed until 6/30”.</p>
<p>I’m interpreting that P is leaving the possibility open…</p>
<p>Yale took a bunch of kids off (at least what I’ve seen; I personally know 3 people who took the offer)</p>
<p>My neighbor’s kid got accepted to Harvard recently (three weeks ago maybe?) but declined. She’s excited to be going to BU on a large scholarship.</p>
<p>S is on the waitlist at P-ton and has heard nothing. We sort of expect there to be no one taken at P-ton this year.</p>
<p>P’s Dean Raplye did not rule it out totally, wrt taking from WL.
She also said that she is very in favor of a gap year (after being accepted).
if enough kids decide to defer 1 year, that would open things up a bit …
Good luck!</p>
