<p>I was waitlisted by Brown and Stanford.</p>
<p>Now, I will have to choose from a university that is not as high on my priority list.</p>
<p>Can I do anything to improve my chances of getting accepted from the waitlist?</p>
<p>Also, if you have been waitlisted you can post your decision in this thread.</p>

What are the chances that waitlisted students can get off?</p>

<p>waitlisted here but its kinda obvious since im posting in the waitlist thread...</p>
<p>me too......</p>
<p>Two years ago Brown took no one off the waitlist, last year there were some waitlist acceptees. It really depends on how many students were accepted and the matriculation rate.</p>
<p>There are numerous other threads on CC about getting off the waitlist, so I'd read those. Definitely write a letter, update with anything new, give information that was not in your application. If you had an interview, you could talk to that alum -- some alums do have connections with admissions (although most don't). Sometimes guidance counselors can call and make a case. </p>
<p>But then, you have to move on, fall in love with another school. Because honestly, the chances of getting in are slim.</p>
<p>waitlisted too. but i think i'm going to oxford! :p</p>
<p>Last year my daughter was waitlisted at Brown and called off the waitlist in JUNE. She ended up going and loves it there.. but it made for a very long college application process. I remember reading these boards and seeing quite a few kids called off the waitlist. They seemed to be accepted a few at a time. You can probably go back and read the old thread. Good luck to all of you!!</p>
<p>Waitlisted here too, but I'm going to Hopkins.</p>
<p>yep...i was waitlisted too. bummer.</p>
