Deferred then waitlisted... chances?

<p>I applied early to UConn and was deferred to regular then put on the waitlist. Since receiving notification of being waitlisted, I've sent a letter expressing my desire to go to UConn and also sent in two more personal essays since I don't think the one I initially sent was my best work. Based on my stats, what are my chances of getting accepted off the waitlist?</p>

<p>I'll also be graduating with six Spanish credits and five math credits.</p>

<p>GPA: (weighted) 3.7
SAT: 1820/2400 (M: 510, CR: 570, W: 740)</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are low, but you are OOS, so I would say better than average chance.</p>

<p>Holy **** you got deferred/waitlisted with those stats? wow, if that’s the case for you then my future’s not too bright with a 3.2 GPA/1810 SAT… Good luck regardless.</p>

<p>whats your prospective major?</p>

<p>Looking at your stats compared to mine, I see no reason they would deny you admission considering I got accepted with lower stats than yours.</p>

<p>These aren’t all of my stats, but here are some basics:</p>

<p>3.5 weighted
school doesn’t tell me my unweighted
all honors and ap’s
25 act
didnt send sats
really good recommendation from dean of students</p>

<p>Uhh, that’s all I can think of at the moment haha.</p>

<p>Prospective students have to remember that your admissions decisions also depends on the major you’re applying for. Considering I applied for journalism, I don’t think UConn has a considerable amount of journalism students like say, BU does. </p>

<p>Regardless, I’d say your stats are pretty impressive, so good luck!</p>

<p>I got deferred and then waitlisted too! =[</p>

<p>3.42 GPA
1720 SAT and 24 ACT but didnt send the act
really good recommendations and EC’s!</p>

<p>I got waitlisted too. 26 act and 3.8 gpa. I’m in clubs and have done lots of community service. Does anyone know how many people get accepted off the waitlist? A lot?</p>

<p>Last year, out of 21 thousand applicants, only 1839 were put on the waitlist and 1% was then admitted so thats about 184 students…</p>

<p>are you serious?! that stinks…i mean i got in(EA) in the nursing program OOS with only 1590(2400) 1080(1600) 24ACT 3.91 GPA(unweighted) 28/204 Class Rank/ With only one honors and one AP. What program did you apply for?</p>

<p>Undecided so ACES…</p>

<p>One thing you hear about UConn every year, is the wide range of acceptances and waitlists/rejections. Some students with high stats get rejected, some with low stats get in and there never is a common denominator.
They want OOS students, I would call, have your GC call, it couldn’t hurt. They might be busting at the seams now though, I know a lot of students applied, but it couldn’t hurt, they haven’t gotten the decisions back yet, many using it as a safety might not attend.</p>
