Getting off waitlists

International Students

<p>What are the chances of a Canadian getting off waitlists to the ivies?</p>

2

<p>same as everyone: 2-5%</p>

<p>Read: Pursue it but don’t expect it.</p>

<p>waitlisted at my dream, yale…</p>

<p>5% is actually a better rate than the rd rate for canadians, lol…</p>

4

<p>^ I don’t know how many Canadians applied, but 30 were admitted in total this year. I’d say the odds aren’t so bad.</p>

5

<p>well, they take like 10 in early decision.</p>

<p>and where did u get the number 30?
from yale’s stat doc, they have around 67 canadians in total at yale.
if u factor in the 68% yield rate, yale prob admits around 20 a year.
so that means 10 in rd round.</p>

<p>I got it from the admitted students page. 10 were admitted EA and another 20 were admitted RD.</p>

<p>oo nice! 10char</p>

<p>For WL’s, anticipate a rejection. Unless you hear otherwise, particularly at Ivy and Ivy-like (Stanford, Hopkins, MIT, CalTech) schools. </p>

<p>That said, you should reiterate your interest, just in case.</p>

9

<p>would they really consider a yield for canadians? i mean like if they had spots for say… 10 canadians… would they really give 14 offers just in case? somehow, i doubt it.</p>

<p>but with that said, if they gave offers to 10 canadians and 8 decide to matriculate, i somehow also doubt that they would take two off the waiting list just to make up for the numbers…</p>

<p>any opinion on that?</p>

<p>and also, anyone know a thing or two about getting waitlisted to wharton?</p>

10

<p>every school works differently so it’s hard to know.</p>

<p>any canadians in recent history got off a waitlist to a top US college?</p>
