Waitlist letter says she won’t hear back until after decision day for other schools. I know Isenberg is a great school. I am surprised they passed on her, nonetheless.

No email yet. S logged into portal and the update was there

D24 OOS waitlisted for Nursing.

Anyone know the chances of getting off waitlist. Son talked to friends and most of them were also waitlisted for isenberg.

Are you in-state or OOS?

Sat 1490, unweighted 4.0, studies Computer Information technology at Tech high school, passed AP exam, tons of great ECs, in state, waitlisted!!!

Very, very low, unfortunately. Isenburg and computer science are notorious for waitlisting OOS students (I can’t speak for in-state). However, one can always try and hope for the best!

OOS. Had mentioned in my first message as well.

All I can say is Wow. Impressive.

It makes no sense. This should have been a target now I’m getting worried about his other schools….

Amazing! CS is such a hard program:)
