Much Better to be Waitlisted Than Deferred

OP, it is much worse on waitlist than on deferral. We received a call from a waitlisted school that my DD was admitted. They gave us 5 days to think over and it was full freight, not even a loan was offered. We flewed over in 2 days and signed up right then and right there or else…NEXT. As the above indicated, very few waitlisted got off and even they were admitted, the yeild is much lower, because of the pressure. Unless it is your first choice and if you are willing to pay full freight, don’t even think about stay on waitlisting.

We also had to forfit the deposit on the other school where she was accepted before.
