<p>I saw the similar thread at other colleges section, so I decided to post this.</p>
<p>My younger sister recently got waitlisted at Duke and penn, which are the only top schools she applied besides the safety state school, and it was awful to see her disappointed after the decision came out. I'm just posting this to ask those who took the waitlist spot to seriously consider if they can drop every other college if they get accepted to duke. There are people who really really want to go to Duke, and I don't think it's fair if people who applied "just because" get the spot. </p>
<p>I hope I was polite enough!! Thank you all</p>
