<p>kmom, would you care to share D's stats? My D loves Loyola Maryland. It was considered a safety and she was waitlisted, much to our surprise. She was accepted at more selective schools. We're not sure what happened. She may even pick Loyola over Holy Cross. I haven't been able to get insight into this school.</p>
<p>D -- UPenn</p>
<p>I'm going to UPenn. To all the parents, thanks for all your help throughout the process.</p>

<p>Can each person copy and paste the list, and add yours at the end:)</p>
<p>In case you don't know how, highlight the list, by left- clicking and dragging the mouse over the list; then release, and hit CTRL and C at the same time, then bring your cursor over to the Message box, and hit CTRL and V.</p>
<p>Sorry. I was going to copy and add to the list, but then I saw that carolyn had asked that we not make a list, just add individual posts. </p>
<p>carolyn, is there a way to make the list in LARGE type?
Might be easier on the eyes. I get lost on the long lists, too. [If I knew how to put a smiley, it would be here.]</p>
<p>Actually, it would be better to paste at the beginning so that one would not have to go to the end of the list to see the new additions.</p>
<p>How about using Marite's example, add to the top and then put some spacing in for old eyes :)</p>

<p>My Bad :(
I misunderstood, and now I get what Carolyn meant. It just keeps making repetitive ever-lengthening lists.
OOOps! I feel really dumb now.</p>
<p>A larger sized version, as requested -- easier on the eyes.</p>

<p>thank you tlaktan....now i can read without glasses.</p>
<p>For ocmom - son's approximate stats are 1390 SAT, ~3.8 GPA, good ECs, good recs. A solid student, not an academic superstar. Loyola was his first choice after his first visit, and he did do a second visit to gain more information and to demonstrate his high level of interest. We thought it would be a good match but learned with our oldest son that this admissions process is unpredictable. We were quite relieved to get the acceptance.
From what I've heard it's not unusual for applicants who are accepted at very selective schools to be waitlisted at less selective schools, as the less selective schools are trying to maximize their yields from their pool of accepted students. As admissions has become more competitive, this seems to be happening more often by schools that don't want to be considered "safeties".
Has your daughter, or her guidance counselor, contacted Loyola to tell them how much she really would like to go there? That may make a difference. Good luck.</p>
