<p>I'm an international undergraduate ED2 applicant. This morning RPI informed me by email that I have been put into the waitlist. I just wondering if I still have the chance to be admitted by RPI? What should I do during this waiting time? How long time should I to be waiting?</p>
<p>I think waitlist people have to wait until after the acceptance deadline for admitted people, so RPI knows its response rate and the #of openings remaining. I know they’ve filled their freshman class the last few years but I don’t know the waitlist %#s. Some schools do publicize their waitlist statistics.</p>
<p>The data is in the common data sets, page 6:</p>

<p>For students entering in the Fall of 2008, it says that 1,301 accepted a place on the waiting list and 371 of them were then offered admission.</p>
<p>For the Fall of 2009, the figures look very strange. 3,799 applicants offred a spot on the waiting list; only 276 accepted a spot on the waiting list; and 186 actually enrolled. I wonder if it is really that 276 were accepted off of the wait list and offered admission.</p>
