Waitlisted for the 3rd time. Not sure what is happening. DD has unweighted 4.0, leadership in EC, Varisty sports, Honors, APā€¦

My D got in with a modest aid offer. She is quite excited. It was perhaps a slight reach for her on straight academic record, but I imagine that her interview, (what I thought) was a great essay, and strong, diverse ECs helped her a great deal. Congrats to those who got in!

To @MonkMama, very sorry to hear that. We watched my Dā€™s friend go through that last yearā€¦she racked up several waitlists before the story ended happily with an acceptance to the most selective school on her list (Haverford.) Remember itā€™s not personal. At the end of the day itā€™s a numbers game. Stay hopeful and good luck to you.

Thank you. That is what we keep trying to tell her. Still have not heard from her top 2.

Congrats to yours though!

Just noticed my DD had this letter as well and came back to see if anybody else knew anything about this. Congratulations!

Hi There - My son was accepted to F&M for the Fall of '23 and weā€™d love to talk with existing students not referred to us by the admission team. My son and I think the Admissions team did an exceptional job, and weā€™d also like to ensure we get a very objective opinion on specific topics.

Does anyone know a current F&M student we could reach out to?

I am a parent of an F&M freshman. If you want to connect, I might be of help.

My son was accepted to F&M with a very modest merit aid scholarship. I think financially it ends up being out of our reach. Hopefully this means someone on the waitlist will get in!

Hiā€¦How does your Freshman like the school? Is the size a problem?
Any pros or cons you or they can share?
Thanks!

Hiā€¦did your son make a decision? Did you visit over the weekend?
Any thoughts?

did anyone receive a waitlist confirmation email?

53

Yes, I did. I am curious did everyone from the waitlist get it?
