<p>It depends on what college you are applying to, and when you applied.....people are getting waitlisted with incredible stats. You look pretty qualified, but if you just applied recently there is a good chance that you will be placed on the waitlist.</p>

<p>Yes.. Minnesota has recently been waitlisting people with 30+ on the ACT..which is unlike them. A 34 on the ACT should be guaranteed admission to a college like the Twin Cities, as it is not very selective, but I have been hearing some pretty ridiculous waitlist stories.</p>
