Just got taken off the waitlist!!
@environed omg congrats!! what an odd time for them to go to the waitlist–that’s awesome 
@environed congratulations!! I thought schools didn’t go to the waitlist until after May 1st, when they know how many spots they have available. How nice you didn’t have to wait that long!!!
Some colleges will put students on the wait list that they don’t think will attend, to protect yield. Sometimes they will contact the guidance counselor and let them know that if the student is interested they will have a spot.
Waitlisted. Got contacted for an interview and gave the interview today. Is it a good sign?
I was waitlisted, just signed up.
SAT 1390/ French 670/ GPA 3.8 unweighted 4.8 weighted/ lots of music extracurriculars/ 8 APs/ Top 10 ranking in the National French Contest if that means anything
I applied as a potential french and music major.
Is there an admitted students Facebook group? I can’t find it.

Colby’s financial aid is fantastic much better than Cornell’s.
Funny story: my wife was driving a bunch of my son’s friends home, and one of the kids blurted out that he applied to Cornell “because it’s the easiest Ivy to get into”. The other kids said that was the impetus for many from our HS to apply. (FWIW, our HS got a TON into Cornell, plus a few more who were invited to transfer in if they kept their GPA up at another school frosh year).
Makes me wonder if this admissions reputation and the less than stellar financial aid go hand in hand.
Has anybody heard any news about the waitlist?
