<p>yah i have that same feeling.</p>

<p>i got waitlisted there too</p>

<p>It's not you. I only heard one person got in. Lots of Lots of people got waitlisted. I heard somewhere that there acceptance rates was already at 18% last year, so this year with the record number of applicants, it should be really low. Good job though!</p>

<p>i got waitlisted too. it seems like a lot of people did!</p>

5

<p>Yes! Ugh, I'm wait-listed. I really really hope I make it. Good luck to everyone!
Did anyone actually get rejected, or did they just wait-list everyone? That would be so unfair - such false hope!</p>

6

<p>Waitlisted. I wonder why they don't reject applicants seeing as how they have a HUGE wait pool.... Lol</p>

7

<p>Waitlisted.
Whoahh.
And my friend at school was also waitlisted.
I was told (by my friend) that for Hotchkiss, only about 50% of accepted students accept the acceptance. (hah sounds awkward)
So we have a good chance of getting off of the waitlist?
But then so many people were waitlisted...</p>

<p>My D was accepted to Hotchkiss. She will be a freshman. She was waitlisted at Exeter and is pending decision of Andover.</p>

<p>i was waitlisted. i wonder why they put so many people on waitlist? why have more people in the wait pool than the actualy acceptances, wouldn't that just end up hurting a hopeful that didn't get in because they overfilled the waitlist?</p>

<p>D accepted at Hotchkiss. According to the acceptance letter, their acceptance rate this year was 21%.</p>

<p>Waitlist offers are always difficult. Schools tend to keep larger waitlists until April 10th because they need to wait and see how many of their admitted students accept their offers. Be sure to write a letter to your interviewer telling them that the school is your first choice and that you will attend if admitted. This is very important because if a space does become available, they will offer it to someone they know will accept that offer immediately.</p>

<p>i really hope that the wait list isn't TOO long because it just decreases the chances of those who really want to go...</p>

14

<p>Let me add one more wait listed person. I am on the damn list!</p>
