<p>So yeah.....em.... I got waitlisted by Deerfield and Hotchkiss....T_T What are the actual chances that I would get off the waitlist? Is there anyone in this forum that knows the historical number of student who eventually get admitted?</p>
<p>yeah i got waitlisted for deerfield as well but dont know much about it, i think theres something like they put in sections on the list or something not sure</p>
<p>well im not sure if this is helpful but i think the way a wait list works is they have people ranked like #1 on the wait list, #2 on the wait list, etc. and if one of the people whom they accepted rejects their offer then they offer the #1 person on the waitlist a spot at the school… and then if another person rejects their offer then they offer the next person in line on the wait list a spot at the school… and so on. once again, sorry if this isn’t helpfull</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but not many are taken off the waitlist.
It’s best to consider other options… just speaking realistically.
Sorry and Goodluck:)</p>
<p>im waitlisted too at deerfield.
all we can do now is wait and hope for the best.
good luck u guys!</p>
<p>i don’t think the people on the waitlist are ranked unless it specifically tells you that “you are at the top of the list” or something like that. Most waitlists are not ranked, though, so the admissions committee may review all people on the waitlist before making an offer to the “best” of the bunch.</p>
<p>deerfield has a big waitlist… last years was huge. no idea about hotchkiss. </p>
<p>i’d just say to stay on the waitlist but dont get your hopes up… i’ve heard of people getting off the waitlist in august and situations similar to that, so its certainly not impossible !</p>
<p>Ughhh, I’m in the same exact situation!!! I was wait-listed at Choate (my first choice :'() and Middlesex!!!</p>
