<p>Does anyone know when we will be able to view the incoming first-year statistics? Just curious.</p>

<p>Well????????????????????</p>

<p>The deadline for students to reply on whether they're accepting admission or not isn’t until May 1st. After a week or so, admissions will then know if they have to go to the waitlist. When a women accepts admission they’re asked to sign a form guaranteeing they’re not staying on another college’s waitlist; however, many students ignore the pledge. If a student is offered admission from another college where they remained on the waitlist, they pull their acceptance pledge. The exact makeup of the class may not be known for months.</p>

<p>Make sense?</p>

<p>Sure does. Thanks, RLT.</p>

<p>I'm expecting a diatribe about women accepting admission, sighing the pledge and then reneging, at a college with an honor code no less.</p>

<p>Well, it doesn't make sense...how does any college not expect some students to remain on waitlists at other institutions, when they have waitlists of their own?</p>

<p>Not all colleges ask a student to sign a pledge they're not staying on another college’s waitlist when they place their deposit.
Smith assumes those who chose to stay on their waitlist didn’t sign a pledge.
But you’re right; it does get touchy and seem a bit hypocritical.</p>

<p>I'm betting that, this year, among acceptees, and those on the waiting list, 100% are women. ;)</p>

<p>However, given past experience, I'll bet there were at least two men among those rejected.</p>

<p>For guys who are both dramatic and insecure, applying to Smith is a great idea. Instead of being rejected by one girl at a time, they can get rejected by a whole college of them! (Why didn't I think of that?)</p>
