kraordrawoh and CaliPaki, you are both a little naive (and I don’t mean that in a mean way)… Schools extend more offers than they have slots for. That’s why Deerfield had a problem with over-enrollment a few years back and had to squeeze a lot of freshman girls into the dorms. They were expecting more kids to say no to their offer of admission. Deerfield hasn’t had to go to their waitlist for the past few years. And that’s just one school.

What I was hoping for was the veterans of CC to share their stories, not the kids that are now waiting to move off the w/l. I know that if that happens this year, it won’t be until April 11th or so.
