<p>I got waitlisted too.</p>
<p>I’m not going to wait it out, and I recommend that others don’t as well. Take a look at the other colleges that accepted you, and enroll in one of those, and move on (this is actually the advice they give you on the page as well). Northwestern puts your balls in a vice for so long, as they take their sweet time waiting before they give you their admissions decisions. Do you really want to wait until June 30th to see if you got in…with all probability that you will not. 27,000 applicants this year…20,000 last year. There were 15 people who got in from the waitlist last year, so I think the chances are very slim that many get in this year.</p>
