<p>My daughter just heard that she was waitlisted at Kenyon. She is sad, not having understood how competetive it was. How many people are waitlisted? Is it everyone who's qualified or just a handful?</p>
<p>Should she make a phone call to Kenyon to make a case or wait another year. </p>
<p>Last question, if she is waitlisted this year, does that give her any bonus point next summer?</p>

<p>I don't know anything about Kenyon, but I doubt pleading her case would help - if she's already been waitlisted, they've already selected their students.</p>
<p>WAIT! Kenyon already sent things out? When?</p>
<p>That makes me ten billion times more nervous.</p>
<p>She got her letter on Saturday.</p>
<p>Oh wow. Now I'm super nervous. Uhg. </p>
<p>I'm leaving for the week so I won't find out for another week. </p>
<p>Are you in the North East? Maybe it'll take longer for me to get mine, since I'm North West.</p>
<p>We live in the SE.</p>
<p>Ok, so it might take longer for me. </p>
<p>Sorry, I'm fairly nervous. I'm really wanting to attend.</p>
<p>Iowa letters are sent out this Wednesday! Sigh, I don't think I got in. Oh well.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted at Kenyon. :(</p>
<p>I'm kind of PO-ed, but not for the seemingly obvious reason. Oh well, cross my fingers for Iowa.</p>
<p>My daughter was waitlisted at Kenyon also. You have company.</p>
<p>Oh well, there's always next year. </p>
<p>What grade is your daughter currently in?</p>
<p>She is a sophmore so next year is fine. She is happy as a clam (bizarre metaphor) because she just got accepted to the Georgia Governor's Honor Program, a free 6-week program where she will get to focus on writing. So things happen the way they do for a reason.</p>
<p>Even if she were to get a YES from Iowa, she'd pass on it now.</p>
<p>I've never heard of that program. I'm a sophomore also.</p>
<p>I guess I'll have to look into it for next year- er wait, it's only for Georgia students isn't it?</p>
<p>Are you in Georgia, musicallylatin? Usually Governer's programs are age- and residence-limited.</p>
<p>Nope. Idaho. We don't have a Governor's program. Gosh, we hardly have any summer programs. </p>
<p>It didn't even occur until after I posted that it's a Georgia resident program, most likely.</p>
<p>Anyone have any other programs that accept rolling?</p>
<p>I need back ups for when Iowa rejects/waitlists me lol.</p>
<p>Haha, same. </p>
<p>Well, Denison's deadline hasn't passed yet -- it's April 6th. Reynolds</a> Writing Workshop - Denison University</p>
<p>Simon's Rock accepts rolling. Young</a> Writers Workshop — Summer Writing Workshops for High School Students</p>
<p>I've been atempting to write a piece for Simon's Rock, but I can't do that prompt well at all. There's so much to say, but yet utterly nothing... </p>
<p>Words just won't come.</p>
<p>Walnut Hill accepts applicants through May (and after with a $250 late fee)</p>
<p>I don't like the idea of Walnut Hill's program honestly. The school itself, yes, their summer program, not so much. :)</p>
