<p>let’s do the same thing people did the last few years. we will make an “active waitlist” list as people start to get into schools/hear about others getting into schools</p>
<p>Waitlisted at Smith. ): I mailed in a huge envelope of stuff yesterday (letter, two additional recs, writing sample), so hopefully that does something.</p>
<p>Waitlisted at NYU Stern</p>
<p>Fairly vague question, I know, but when do you think the first wave of waitlist calls for some of the more “selective” schools will go out? Do you believe there is a chance that any of the schools might start making calls before May 1? Perhaps a more realistic question…do you think any of these selective schools will even be utilizing their waitlists this year?</p>
<p>Waitlisted at Boston College, Bowdoin, and Connecticut College</p>
<p>re first calls:
I don’t think you will see any notifications before May 1. The April 1 and May 1 dates are meant to keep a level playing field for all colleges and to allow students time to make a decision. It may be considered bad form to start tapping the waitlist before May 1. Since May 1 falls on a Saturday, it may not be until May 4 or 5 that people start getting called.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if this was a really high cross-admit year or anything?</p>
<p>Hypothetically, what are you supposed to do if you get off two waitlists? Like, for example, after May something, one college calls you and you accept their offer. But, then in early June, another college (one you’d rather attend) calls you? Would you just reject the original college’s wait-list offer after paying the deposit and confirming?</p>
<p>Rice has started admitting form the wait list (there’s three or four people saying they’ve been admitted on the Rice page)</p>
<p>CloudCult: by May 1st, you must put a deposit down at a school you’ve already been accepted to. If you were hypothetically taken off another place’s waitlist in mid-May and you wanted to attend, you would drop off the original school’s list and enroll at the new school. Then, if you were admitted in June by another place and you wanted to attend, you would drop off of the second school’s list. By then, you would have lost two deposits.</p>
<p>Question: it seems like a lot of more-competitive schools (i.e. Notre Dame) have not only waitlisted more students this year, but have also admitted more this year (gotta protect that yield!) I’d be interested to hear people’s opinions about whether schools like that will even go to the waitlists this year.</p>
<p>waitlisted at bentley university )):</p>
<p>Rose, from a purely statistical standpoint, I’d say yes, most of the selective schools will indeed go to their waitlist. Yes, it’s been reported that these schools had a record number of applications; however, it’s because the average student today is applying to numerous schools. Looking at the census data, it’s not as though the class of 2014 has more kids. (Last year’s class had slightly more.) One can only deduce, then, that there is significant cross admit for these selective schools. Since you can only enroll in one school and the deposits are due 5/1, I feel some will be receiving calls in May and June after the schools have an idea of where their numbers are. Here’s the problem, though – some schools like WUST and Duke put several thousand on their list. Yes, not everyone accepts, but the odds of you being the one picked are slim. Some of the schools are more reserved with who they waitlist and naturally you’ll have a better chance getting in there. My D was waitlisted at 7 schools and elected to remain on 5 waitlists. She’s hopeful at least one will call but if they don’t, she’s got some excellent choices. (She just has to decide before May 1st!)</p>
<p>how about Cal Poly SLO for engineering major?</p>
<p>I saw on the Duke forum that some have received calls off of the Duke waitlist for Pratt! Good luck.</p>
<p>Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown
anyone have any opinions on when they will be making calls, or, if they will be making calls?</p>
<p>got off the duke waitlist today (for pratt) yay!</p>
<p>S got off the waitlist for Providence College today…he’s thrilled, H is not.</p>
<p>Anyone know anything about Dartmouth waitlist in previous years (when they started contacting)?</p>
<p>Momtravels, why is your H not excited about your son’s good fortune?</p>
<p>“Momtravels, why is your H not excited about your son’s good fortune?”</p>
<p>Because he was just about to send in the deposit to UVM, and my H thinks it’s just as good of school (if not better) at a much lower price.</p>
