Anyone get off the waitlist?

<p>does anyone have an idea of how many wash u will accept this year from the waitlist? Harvard, Princeton and Penn are accepting in significant numbers it would seem. wonder if that will have an affect on wash u's waitlist...</p>

<p>i really hope i get called..</p>

<p>Just sign up today, My s got a call 3 days ago, and will attend it.</p>

<p>did your son do anything additional jss2000? </p>

<p>I really hope I get called. I've done so much to try to get into this school. Do you think sending in a certificate for placing second in Districts for tennis and a certificate for placing in the state competition would do much?</p>

<p>Hey guys, I got in off the wait list to Olin Business school on Wednesday. They called me on my cell.</p>

<p>SuperChode:</p>

<p>Did you do anything extra? What were your scores/rank/ec? Did they say how many others were taken off as well?</p>

<p>I didn't do anything extra at all. I stopped considering Wash U as a possibility really.</p>

<p>I had a 760/680/770 on the SAT. 3.7 GPA. President of student council, captain of mock trial, model UN, literary magazine, captain of math league.</p>

<p>They didn't say how many others were taken off though.</p>

<p>congratulations superchode. will you be attending next year or have you already chosen a different school?</p>

<p>did anyone get a call telling there status who hasnt gotten in yet</p>

<p>enrocer
no call here one way or the other</p>

<p>Any internationals heard yet???</p>

<p>Well to whoever is interested, I was called back on the 6th. From Maryland. I will not be attending, so I really hope someone else that loves WashU can fill this spot! I also got called from Duke on the 7th, now there...I may attend ;)</p>

<p><em>edit</em> Oh, and I did absolutely no supplementary information (transcripts, letters, etc.) to either</p>

<p>I was talking to someone from the admissions office yesterday. From what I heard it sounds like they have been ranking their waitlist candidates..</p>

<p>^^^
To Hopeworks:
Are you serious? They rank their waitlist candidates?</p>

<p>to above post^^^
Yeah every school ranks their waitlist candidates no matter what they claim.</p>

<p>Any internationals heard anything yet??
Is one formally removed from the waitlist or does one just assume if one does not hear anything?</p>

<p>nope i am still waiting for them to call
I dont know exactly but they should inform us if they are not accepting anyone off the waitlist</p>

<p>Getting off the waitlist is almost always a long shot. By the time you get to May 15th it's a very long shot indeed. If as of early May, Wash U didn't yet know if they would need to go the waitlist (see second post in this thread), and we have heard from just a handful of people who got off the list last week, then I would guess they had just a few spots to fill and they are probably done.</p>

<p>Of course, summer attrition could be higher than they expect and a few more spots could open up over the summer, but.... not likely.</p>

<p>I will be happy to be proved wrong.</p>

<p>man but if there no spaces left they should tell us or atleast give us some sort of update</p>

<p>this is terrible, doesn't WashU know that there are other schools that others may want to go to waiting for their reply!!!!!!!!!! For all this waiting I hope they are paying full tuition or something!!!!!!!!!!</p>
