<p>how the waitlist works... The letter says there is no ranking. Do they make up the list in the order of when the cards are received? Thanks...</p>

<p>I sent you a PM.</p>
<p>My D was waitlisted as well and I was also wondering about the rankings of the names on the waiting list.</p>
<p>yeah I'm on the waitlist too. How are they supposed to choose out of 600 people if they aren't ranked.<br>
Heycow, if you know something, please PM also!
Thanks</p>
<p>me too heycow!! please?</p>
<p>me three heycow please!! if you dont mind...</p>
<p>My d was waitlisted last year. She did get admitted in early June. Admissions does not know who is going to accept their offer so there is no ranking. Once they get their replies by May 1st, if there is additional room they are going to start pulling off that list. Who gets in is going to depend on what they need. Maybe they'll need more boys, non athletic types, (my daughter was one of the few that never played a sport!) those with a larger emphasis on leadership, maybe some of those with a musical inclination because many band members are graduating. I could go on and on! Keep in mind that they are forming a class and trying to balance it out! </p>
<p>Please be sure to show them your interest in ND. As Alisa Fisher from admissions said in a presentation at a local high school, "if you are waitlisted or deferred, we want to hear your voice!"</p>
<p>I wish all of you the best of luck as you face this period of stress and uncertainty. You all stand a great chance of getting in as they did take 175 last year.</p>
