<p>Hobart and William Smith are probably NOT going to their waitlist</p>

[collegebiomed]

<p>Anyone know about Johns Hopkins going to their waitlist?</p>

[Pizzagirl]

<p>Anyone know about Pomona?</p>

<p>

Dartmouth sent emails to waitlistees saying it’d be about three more weeks before they’d know if they’ll be pulling from the list.

</p>

<p>Wow…that’s a long time. What the heck? How does it take them three weeks to count up the number of replies they have received?</p>

<p>From the Hopkins board:</p>

<p>

So I went to JHU after getting my wait list notification and I talked to the director of admissions and here’s the situation:</p>

<p>*Last year, they had a surprising amount of students accepted their offers of admission
*They received a bigger class than they could take (they no longer can guarantee housing for juniors and seniors, bigger class sizes, it’s a mess)
*SO the guy (Daniel, I believe) told me that they purposefully admitted FAR less students this year so they wouldn’t have that same problem
*They expect they’ll have a large gap they’ll need to fill with wait list students

• He guaranteed me that JHU ABSOLUTELY WILL be taking off their waitlist…they just don’t know how many students

<p>I think we should take Yale off the list until we get a second and third example of someone pulled off the waitlist. We only have one case, and its secondhand. Not that I don’t trust serendipityyy, but you’d think there would be more than one.</p>

<p>Admissions Dan @ Tufts says they don’t know if they are going to the waitlist, but it will be a couple of weeks either way.</p>

<p>We know of someone who reported getting CMU/Tepper’s waitlist last night. Interesting, considering what others have reported re: CMU’s Priority WL.</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins official update by Admission_Daniel:

Wait List Status Update
The theme of this update is pretty simple, NO NEWS YET. There has been a lot of speculation and curiosity about whether we will need to admit students from our wait list, but I can confirm that as of the morning of May 6 the Admissions staff has had absolutely no discussion on this topic. For us, it is simply too early to make such decisions. Our process is and has always been quite deliberate. Just because some of our peer institutions have decided to activate their wait list does not mean we will be doing the same, nor does it mean we need to be acting in haste. We work with our own time-line and right now we are still analyzing all the responses by the May 1 deadline.</p>

<p>I suspect (and this is just my speculation) that we will have some discussion early next week regarding next steps. At that time we could decided to still wait, or we could decide to admit some students. I have no idea what conclusions will be made because they will only be made after Dean Latting discusses the options with the Admissions Committee. So the conclusion to gain from this update is that you need to remain patient.

<p>i guess almost every school goes to its waitlist</p>

[oldfort]

<p>Not true. Cornell didn’t for 2 years. Sometimes they over admit. My sense is that this year most schools will.</p>

[NoonesFool]

<p>Technically, Bryn Mawr is off the list as well since they haven’t started pulling people off the waitlist as of yet. They’ve only sent an email asking for the waitlisted students to confirm thier interest in Bryn Mawr so they can start reevaluating the waitlisted applications.</p>

[Crazycat]

<p>Syracuse has as well.</p>

<p>I’m under the impression that many schools underadmitted this year in an attempt to balance their yield and expect to be going to their waitlist. We have had a discussion with one school that said exactly that.</p>

<p>

Wow…that’s a long time. What the heck? How does it take them three weeks to count up the number of replies they have received?

</p>

<p>Maybe they’re waiting for HYP, etc. to pull from their waitlist first?</p>

[Born2RunMom]

<p>Just spoke to admissions at Indiana University-Bloomington and I was told “it is unlikely that we will be going to our waitlist this year”. Oh well.</p>

<p>D’s friend was offered a spot off the waitlist at Barnard yesterday.</p>

[October_s_Child]

<p>Saint Olaf College is not going to the waitlist due to a larger than expected enrollment. Just got the e-mail.
Good luck to all the waitlistees!!</p>
