<p>Ok....MAY 1 has finally arrived, which means that every1 who has accepted Princeton must have done it by now. Do you know when we figure out if they are even going to their waitlist?? Is anyone sending extra materials even tho they specifically asked us not to? Also...if any1 gets off the wait list...please post so every1 (A) can be happy for you (..or just jealous of you..hehe) and (B) Know that there is a little hope... thanks!</p>
<p>I am sending a recommendation from a former Princeton professor; that's it.</p>
<p>I know they indicated the statistics for how many students have gotten taken from the wait list in past years, but does anyone know how many total kids are usually on it? I saw that Dartmouth offers around 1200 waitlist spots, 700 or so people accept a spot, and then the numbers vary about how many actually get admitted.</p>
<p>In the letter that Princeton sent to us...in the "waitlist statement" part...it stated "The size of the wait list will be in the range of a few hundred and will change over the next few months as students make other plans. We will not add to the waitlist." Also, I called Princeton to see how large the waitlist was, and while the person I was speaking to did not know, they mentioned that they were under the impression that the waitlist was smaller this year as they did not accept any of their students off of the waitlist last year. I dunno if this helps???</p>
<p>Question, Im not so informed about this waitlist thing, how do you get put on the waitlist for princeton?</p>
<p>Waitlist is a decision. During regular decision time, you can either be accepted, rejected, or waitlisted. You cannot request to be put on the waitlist if you were already rejected.</p>
<p>i JUST got an email saying they are not sure whether they need the list yet. come on its may 5 already....is this goodbye =(</p>
<p>Could you please post the content of that e-mail? Or else, could you please answer whether you think it was designed to say "Please stop calling us about a spot...we don't know yet if we'll have one" or was it more designed to imply that it is pretty unlikely there will be a need to draw from the list?</p>
<p>its just that i sent them an email asking them whether they have received my final school transcript (which i sent them last week). in reply they said sth along the lines ( i deleted the email by mistake): thanks for writing. we're not yet sure whether we will use the waitlist but if we do we will consider your application again. </p>
<p>i was just thinking that since its the 5th of may and they are not yet sure whether they need the waitlist, there might be a possibility that they wont need it at all. my assumptions only.</p>
<p>Thanks. So it wasn't a mass mailing then. Still, doesn't sound particularly promising either.</p>
<p>advent and GFG, I hope you guys get in!!!</p>
<p>Good luck guys! Man...I hope it's not over yet...</p>
<p>Exactly. I hope Son still has some chance.</p>
<p>im giving up pton waitlist...as in no longer pursuing it...</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone on the waitlist! I've got a good friend on there myself and have some sense of the agony you're going through.</p>
<p>Hopefully, I'll see you in the fall!</p>
<p>anybody heard anything yet? do they really wait until june?!</p>
<p>Umm I called a few days ago and they said they probably wouldn't know even if they were GOING to their waitlist....not who they accept..just GOING to it....until JUNE....I'm going crazy..i applied in OCTOBER!! deferred and then put on the waitlist...talk about the worst fate ever</p>
<p>Wow, by June some students will have become too attached to and invested in their current selection to want to make the switch. Already that other college is getting listed on school reports, scholarship checks, etc.</p>
<p>My EFC was so low and princeton's aid is so good that i dont think i would be able to turn down admission there no matter how attached i become. Who would say, "I'm not sure if I want to go to to the best undergraduate school in the nation with 35k in grant"?</p>
<p>Well, the great financial aid is one of Princeton's many appealing qualities.</p>
