Wait Lists

<p>…I don’t get it, Waitl!sted. Bump bump bump…?</p>

<p>In a forum when you bring a thread back into the user’s attention it’s called a bump, I bumped this thread so more people would participate in it (and I could see my waitlist competition)</p>

<p>Oh okay :smiley: Me too, I want to see the competition too!!</p>

<p>BUMP BUMP BUMP</p>

<p>Ya, bumping a thread when it’s at the top of the list is pointless</p>

<p>This thread it at the top of the list?! Hah, nevermind then!</p>

<p>People hurry up at post your waitlist stats so I know my waitlist stats!</p>

<p>Yes, please. I really want to know my chances for L’ville and Peddie!</p>

<p>“This year’s Waiting List is quite long and I regret that it is not very likely we will be able to offer Waitl!sted a place”</p>

<p>-From My Waitlist Letter from lawrenceville</p>

<p>I got the same phrase in my letter from Lawrenceville, too.</p>

<p>Ya it really sucks! But I admire their honesty in admitting we probably are not gonna get in</p>

<p>I guess :-/ I wonder if it was the same for all waitlisted applicants at Lawrenceville…? And I think that the waitlist was probably long this year.</p>

<p>why does deerfield wait-list so many people?</p>

<p>No idea…I thought that SPS would have more waitlisted people since so many applied this year? I’m guessing, though, that Deerfield probably rejected less people. Maybe, but I’m not sure since I didn’t apply there. Maybe someone else can help out here?</p>

<p>Are you basing the notion that Deerfield waitlisted a lot of people just on the fact that 14 cc’ers indicated that they are waitlisted there? If that is your basis, it may not be a valid conclusion, since those who post here a not a random sample. Maybe people who apply to Deerfield are more likely to post here, so you will end up with the false impression that Deerfield has a long waitlist.</p>

<p>Are you basing the notion that I SAID Deerfield waitlisted a lot of people just on the fact that 14 cc’ers indicated that they are waitlisted there? If that is your basis, it may not be a valid conclusion. Maybe I found out through different ways, so don’t end up with the false impression that that is the way I got my impression…deerfield does, in fact, have a huge wait-list this year.</p>

<p>Does the school disclose the size of the waitlist?</p>

<p>i dont thin so</p>
