<p>Well they’re mailing out admissions decisions today (check their facebook). So I’m not really sure if it would make a difference…</p>
<p>If you end up on the wait list, sending an essay or supplemental material could make a difference.</p>
<p>@niceday: but admission also depends on availability of spaces in the class.</p>
<p>Carleton usually doesn’t admit anyone off their waitlist because there aren’t enough spaces in the class.</p>
<p>It’s true that last year they didn’t admit anyone off the wait list. But, in the prior year there were 64, and the year before that over 50, admitted off the wait list.</p>

<p>Thanks, Descartsz. That’s very helpful. Any idea why the waitlist was so much larger last year?</p>
