<p>Cinderella-If you are able, I would highly recommend that you attend a welcome day geared to NUin students. There you will have opportunity to ask questions and hear from students. Regarding your comment that “don’t even qualify for the waitlist”, well that is simply ill informed. YOU have been admitted to NU. Those on the waitlist have not. </p>
<p>With 47,000 applications this year, it is totally not certain how many (IF ANYONE) will come off the waitlist. My D who did NUin said this to me this morning: "I had a girl in my HS graduating class who also had NU as her first choice. She was a qualified student and was put on the waitist. I was a qualified applicant and admitted to NUin. She ended up another a school, never came off the waitlist and I am attending school in Boston at Northeastern.</p>
