<p>Post here if you were waitlisted by Stanford.</p>
<p>I received my waitlist e-mail on 3:58.</p>
<p>I got wait listed as well.</p>
<p>So, what happens now? Is getting admission virtually impossible? Aside from a job, I don't have any new information.</p>
<p>Waitlisted here too.</p>
<p>I don't even know how to feel :(</p>
<p>Waitlisted.</p>
<p>waitlisted... :(</p>
<p>Me too. Although I had a ton of new things happen recently that could boost my chances... When Stanford says that they "reevaluate" a candidate, does that mean our chances of getting off of the list aren't tied to whether or not someone doesn't accept Stanford's offer?</p>
<p>I must say though, that this comes as a huge surprise. After being flat out rejected by my ED school, and rejeceted by UChicago, I am totally thrilled that Stanford is at least considering me.</p>
<p>waitlisted.</p>
<p>someone think of some way for me to vent my anger before i like go crash my car into a tree or something.</p>
<p>Waitlisted...... a little disappointed but I was expecting a cold cut rejection but whatever.....xD</p>
<p>They waitlisted so many people this year I believe.</p>
<p>waitlisted!</p>
<p>Last year they over-enrolled and took 0 people off the waitlist.</p>
<p>thanx i feel gr8 now</p>
<p>They waitlisted 6% of people says the website (link is from the email they sent). At least 6% is less than the people they accepted (9.5%). Last year, Amherst College waitlisted more people than they accepted, over-accepted and thus took 0 people off the waitlist. </p>
<p>Well, if you want to be optimistic, think of it this way: at least you're the top 15.5% of Stanford's applicant pool. You guys will all go to great schools, whether or not you end up getting into Stanford! Good luck!</p>
<p>i'm gonna get off the waitlist if its the last thing i ever do.</p>
<p>" Last year they over-enrolled and took 0 people off the waitlist. "</p>
<p>hah, well with a school in as high demand as stanford, i'm not surprised. i have a 3.3 and a 2010, but i'm a good writer, the only thing that held me back from a flat-out rejection.</p>
<p>thesmiths, I have the opposite problem.</p>
<p>I have a 4.5 weighted GPA, but I have a 27 ACT, which translates into an 1830 SAT score.</p>
<p>Like you, I think I wrote my essays well.</p>
<p>Are there any people waiting for Monday's college decisions?</p>
<p>I don't think they'll have the last year's problem of over-enrolling. From what I've read, this year's admittance rate is the lowest its been in Stanford's 117 year history. So 2400 students were admitted a couple will probably decline for one reason or another. Basically, if you consider the current freshmen class size, I think they have room to bump that number to say....2500/2600?</p>
<p>got waitlisted too</p>
<p>does it matter what time you send in your request for waitlist? or are they all equal from a person who does it now than a person who does it a week later.. than a person who does it April 30</p>
<p>^
The waitlist isn't ranked, so we are all re-reviewed when a spot opens up.</p>
<p>I think we all have a great shot because many students will be declining Stanford over Harvard and Princeton (both got rid of early admission so kids won't be accepting offers until Monday when decisions are out). I also think it is weird that the AP test sign ups (at least for Idaho) are the day before most colleges send out decisions. How am I supposed to know if I should take the test if I have no idea where I am going to end up?</p>
<p>I got waitlisted, and didn't proofread my essays, and after I submitted, I found about 10+ fragments or grammatical errors. Oh joy. Such regret...</p>
