<p>are waitlisted students typically granted fa?</p>
<p>I don't think so chico.</p>
<p>Do they not really give FA at all ?</p>
<p>it's highly unlikely.</p>
<p>Ugh, I've been wait-listed for Hotchkiss and I need FA! Why would they wait-list someone who they know they can't give FA too. It just doesn't make sense.</p>
<p>thr reason they wait-listed you was probably your need for FA.....</p>
<p>Peddie does that to me too</p>
<p>If we call the schools say we can pay more for the tuition (or even don't need FA anymore). Will that help to get off the waiting pool ?</p>
<p>idk
but that's not an option por moi! :)</p>
<p>It would seem to make sense that if the wait-list person were taking the place of a candidate who had qualified for fa, then they would look for a wait-list person who had similar need. Don't know if that's how it works, though...</p>
<p>There was one person who was on a waitlist last year (general waitlist, not FA waitlist.) She called back and said she would remove her request for FA and she got into the school. This is the only time I remember hearing, that by removing the FA request, one was accepted into the school.</p>
