Harvard Waitlist Waiting Room 2015

felixfelicis · April 4, 2011, 10:54am

if we assume that 1500 people are offered a spot on the waiting list (a conservative estimate), and 1000 people ultimately stay on the waiting list (which is 2/3 of 1500), and the sample listed here is representative of the entire waiting list, 3-7 people listed here might get accepted off the waiting list (3 being if 50 people are accepted off the total waiting list, and 7 being if 125 people are accepted off the waiting list.) if around 100 people are accepted off the total waiting list, around 6 people here might be accepted.

*Son accepted spot on the waitlist.

redguard117 · April 4, 2011, 7:25pm

Anyone know how to get in contact with our regional rep?

jaimeleschevaux · April 4, 2011, 8:35pm

I am praying for good news in May - I was waitlisted at Georgetown, Princeton and Harvard and don’t have a top 15 acceptance in hand like many of the other waitlistees. I updated with my interests:

Please, for anyone who doesn’t have his/her heart totally and definitely set on going to Harvard, and has another great school such as HYPM etc. to go to, don’t stay on the waitlist! Give others who want this very badly or doesn’t have another Ivy or top 15 school in the bag a better chance at achieving his/her dream of attending Harvard.

freakozoid · April 7, 2011, 2:46pm

^Exactly my sentiments. I don’t even have a top 200 school. :/

I do not agree with your sentiments at all. Should a person on the waitlist give up his dream to attend Harvard just because he was fortunate/good enough to be admitted to other top schools? Besides, if a student admitted to other top schools decides to stay on the waitlist at Harvard, and is, in fact, admitted - then a spot opens up at the other school he accepted a place at, doesn’t it? I sincerely hope no one is influenced by your advise, and that they accept their place on the waitlist if Harvard is what they want. Stop being selfish. Everyone has their own interests.

I for one think Enough’s posts are salient, excellent advice (search for them if you haven’t read 'em) - quit torturing yourselves,and tell Harvard thanks but no thanks. Why prolong a demoralizing self-critical guessing game about why they didn’t accept you during RD? Why give H a chance to reject you twice? So many other great schools including ones you’ve been accepted to, schools that actually want you. Does it make sense to wait for these people to tell you what to do with your life?

felixfelicis · April 8, 2011, 5:31pm

I’ve taken myself off the waiting list.

lutherjw · April 8, 2011, 5:51pm

: o Oh no!

I’m sure you’ll be happy wherever you go! And I truly do mean it when I say that I really enjoyed reading your posts in the days leading up to the decisions. (Even, and especially, the extraordinarily depressing ones.) :p

If it is his/her dream, then of course he/she should stay on it. They should be committed. But there are many who are deciding to stay on it just for the heck of it, and that to me seems selfish. Some choose to stay on it just to see if they could get in, just to get another bragging right or ego boost. By all means, if they are committed to it and it is their top school, they should stay.

If yield remains constant, meaning 25 people would be taken off the waiting list of approximately 1000, and if this 65-person sample is representative of the entire waiting list, then 1 or 2 people will be accepted from this thread (25/1000 * 65 = 1.6).
