<p>How do I stay on a waiting list for another school, but still go through with my Brown acceptance?</p>
<p>I submitted the online thing stating that I plan to enroll at Brown next year because they did not have an option for a waitlist. Was this a mistake? Should I try to email my admissions officer?</p>
<p>…what?</p>
<p>I meant the following.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted at Princeton and I accepted their waitlist a week after I found out. But, obviously I have to accept another school just in case I don’t get off the wait-list at Pton. (Which will most likely happen)</p>
<p>So, I went to Brown’s online decision site and accepted my acceptance. There were only two options. Yes or No, I will attend ---- University. There was no option for accepting another school’s waitlist. </p>
<p>My question is how do I notify Brown that I am on another school’s waitlist? And did I make a mistake by accepting? Is it okay that I did that and am still on another waiting list?</p>
<p>You did fine; you don’t need to say you’re on another school’s waitlist. All schools expect to lose some to waitlists. Relax.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. Sorry, I was freaking out. I just read one of my other college acceptances and they asked you to call a certain number if you were going on a waitlist. I wanted to make sure it’s not the same as Brown. Thanks!</p>
<p>You should probably come to Brown anyway :). Eating clubs… yuck.</p>
<p>“they asked you to call a certain number if you were going on a waitlist”</p>
<p>They’re refining how many to accept from their own waitlist; it’s just a courtesy to help them out, and it doesn’t affect the caller. This dance will go on for a couple of months.</p>
