Can you guys post what your Exeter waitlist letter (not e-mail) that was sent to you guys said?
I was wondering whether everyone had the same letter or not.
"Dear [Insert Name],
After long and careful consideration, the Admissions Committee has decided to place your name on the Waiting List for the Class of [Insert Class]. You are a talented student whom the Committee admires.
You will be considered for a space if one becomes available. If you wish that to happen, please return the enclosed form as soon as possible and no later than April 10. Should you decide to make other plans for your schooling next year, we would appreciate your notifying us of that as well.
We cannot precisely forecast the decisions of those who have been offered admission. We know that you and your parents will have specific questions about your status on our Waiting Lis; we hope that the enclosed sheet will prove helpful. Our best advice at this time is for you to consider all of your options and to let us know if Exeter is the school of your choice by remaining on our Waiting List.
We congratulate you on your fine record of accomplishments which deserves a more fitting recognition than we can provide at this time. We hope that you will remain interested in Exeter and that ultimately we have a chance to offer you a place in Exeter’s Class of [insert class] "
I got the same. How about you? @thereddevils
The same
Mine’s was also the same except the first paragraph.
It said “After long and careful consideration, the Admissions Committee has decided to place your name on the Waiting List for the Class of [Insert Class]. Letters such as this are always difficult to write, particularly to those with close ties to Exeter.” I’m assuming they put that because I had a sibling who went to Exeter.
Yes, that is most likely the reason.
