<p>this is simply because bu is basically an ivy-league safety...whereas the others dont get a whole lot of people who apply with such high stats
Ahhhh ok. That makes sense now. </p>
<p>Anyway, do I have to take my name off the waitlist, or is it automatically taken off if I don't confirm my spot? Hopefully then someone who wanted to go there can take my place on the list.</p>
<p>if you don't confirm, your name is never put on and you're just rejected.</p>
<p>OK, thanks!</p>
<p>Does anyone have a sense of how many waitlistees BU will offer admission this year, and how many are on the waitlist? Thanks.</p>
<p>looking at the statistics of waitlistee's in the past, most people waistlisted were admitted. so yea...don't stress too much over being waitlisted by BU cause chances are that you'll get in eventually.</p>
<p>thanks foosho. Can you tell me where you saw the statistics -- are they available online?</p>
<p>I saw it in, the book "Best Colleges of 2007" all the way down to 2003. And it was almost 100% admission rate from the waitlist. Go to your local Barnes and Noble and itll be there.</p>
<p>he's giving you false hope, trust me--they only take about 20 now. i was waitlisted last year with a 1320/1600 sat and top ten of my graduating class and i didn't get off for cas.</p>
<p>Im a freshman here... my friend got in off the waitlist last year, and I believe they told him they only took about five kids off the waitlist last year...</p>
<p>That's really depressing! but thank you -- its better not to have false hope.</p>
