<p>Did anyone get a waitlist letter (this year only) from Andover saying that you're on the top 25 or something? Seemed like some people from past years have gotten letters stating that.</p>
<p>I got a waitlist letter, but it did not say anything about a top 25. Did you?</p>
<p>same here. waitlisted but no top 25 metioned.</p>
<p>Andover included a FAQ sheet along with the waitlist that states: </p>
<p>“The Phillips Academy waiting list is not ranked. Each student has an equual opportunity to be considered for any opening that may become available in the grade to which he/she applied”</p>
<p>does anybody have any idea how many students are listed on the waitlist?</p>
<p>Reposting my response from March 2010:</p>
<p>It has been brought to our attention that there is some confusion about the number of students who have been waitlisted at Andover. I see from this discussion that some students have been told that there are only 25 students on Andover’s wait list. I want to clarify that our wait list is divided by applicant pool: residential status (boarding and day), gender, and grade. Therefore, we may have 25 students who have confirmed their places on a particular waiting list, e.g. 9th grade day student girls. However, the number of students on each wait list may vary by grade, gender, and residency. </p>
<p>As you can see, the numbers can vary and are in a constant state of flux as some students will take their names off our wait list as they accept offers of admission from other schools. </p>
<p>I have logged in to this discussion board this one time only to provide this clarification. If you have any other questions about Andover’s wait list, please feel free to call our office at (978) 749-4050.</p>
<p>Thank you. </p>
