Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Duke as of now, which is kinda crazy because their ED acceptance rate is higher than CofC Honors College’s acceptance rate. Still waiting on Vandy, Georgetown, UVA, UChicago, and many more.
Sorry you were waitlisted bro. I hope CofC Honors gives you the chance to live up this amazing city :)>-
Yes, my DD hear last week she was waitlisted
My son is a current William Aiken Fellow at CofC Honors. I’m not sure how many students were waitlisted, but they had over 1500 applications for 200 spaces. They had their interview weekend for WAF last weekend. I know last year , quite a few students had used CofC Honors as a “safety” for more selective schools. Students from this past weekend will be notified in early March regarding their Aiken status. My guess is that some spaces may open once students also hear back from their other choices. I know of at least 3 students last year offered a spot from the waitlist . If you’re truly interested , there is an option to apply after one semester at CofC . Good luck.
