How bad are the chances of getting off the waitlist? I can’t find it on their Common Data set anywhere lol

My daughter, 2024, was deferred in EA and just received a RD acceptance to the global scholars program. Her grades were good (sorry I don’t have the numbers here) though her SATs were not stellar. She had several AP courses and her grades for those were outstanding. I prodded her for weeks and then finally last week she sat down and wrote a letter of continuing interest—no idea if that helped(?) No merit aid apparently. Now I’d like to find out more about the Global Scholars program—does anybody here have experience or insight about that?

The past few years no one was admitted from the waitlist to Boston. Some were offered NU In.

S24 rejected from RD. I guess CS is just too hard to get into.

I think it’s the yield protection due to geographic factor. I found West coast kids more likely to get in USC and waitlisted/deferred by NU, and vice versa for East coast kids. In your S24’s case, they guessed even if they gave him admission, he most likely won’t attend, and that will increase their admit rate.

Congrats on all his amazing admits!!

Did not apply to an impacted major

After lurking around College Confidential all year, we fully expected this result and are not at all surprised.

He has some good EA options already, including a full merit scholarship to one school, but he did really like Northeastern and wrote a detailed letter about why with initial application and a follow up LOCI as well.

Congrats to all who got in! It seems like a really neat school.

This is the first waitlist we received, not surprise though. Yes, we are from So Cal, feel like it is hard to be accepted in East coast schools.
