<p>Does anyone know what the realistic chances are of getting in off of the wait list? The letter says 'some years 70/150 on the wait list get in , some years none" and.. do you always hear after May 1st?</p>

<p>HC took 33 off the waitlist last year:</p>

<p>They went to it earlier than most - it was the week of May 5 or 12.</p>

<p>Word on the street is that expensive private colleges like Holy Cross will go to their wait list deeper this year due to the poor economy and students electing to go to cheaper state schools. As many articles have been saying, this is a great year for well off kids who don't need financial aid.</p>

<p>I'm thinking of accepting a spot of HC's waitlist, but I need FA..... so I guess they probably won't admit me.</p>
