So you are waitlisted at Stanford

Yep, my letter said 5% too. 30,000 applied so around 1,500 got waitlisted.

I’ve been accepted at Tufts, Claremont McKenna, GWU with a nice 'ship, Wellesley, and McGill. I’m seriously thinking about turning down the waitlist offer because enrolling at Stanford would mean not being able to play DIII college tennis.

And yes, kill me now, but I could see myself choosing Tufts or CMC over Stanford. I think that’s a first…

I do have to think about the fact that as an international paying almost full tuition, a Stanford degree is worth more. But I don’t know.

If you accept a spot on the waitlist and you are subsequently accepted, do you HAVE to enroll at Stanford?

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Stanford, it’s a dream come true just to be waitlisted, but their damn tennis team is too good…
