<p>Qtflt,</p>
<p>I’m sorry to hear about your situation – the waitlist is a place no one wants to be, for sure!</p>
<p>I don’t have any information at this point on the number of applicants offered a place on the waitlist, nor how many have agreed to be placed on it. Of course, each year brings with it a different yield % of those accepted, so it’s very difficult to say how likely one is to get accepted off the waitlist.</p>
<p>However, in the meantime, I definitely wouldn’t sit back and twittle my thumbs. Take the initiative and send your regional admissions representative (see: [Lafayette</a> College Admissions](<a href=“http://lafayette.edu/admissions/staff.html]Lafayette”>http://lafayette.edu/admissions/staff.html)) a typed letter describing your experiences/feelings as you’ve done in your post – what did that personal tour and alum interview mean to you? If you have any updates regarding classes or extracurricular accomplishments, be sure to share that sort of information as well.</p>
<p>Make the effort now rather than later. Time is of the essence!</p>
