<p>I think you should see this..</p>

<p>Please excuse the informal nature of this email, but we wanted to give everyone on our waiting list some updated information regarding our enrollment for next year. For the past several weeks, my colleagues and I have been working through the final phase of our admission cycle. As you can imagine, it takes some time to review the enrollment figures for the upcoming year and to assess the various possibilities of changes in our enrollment picture.</p>

<p>After looking at all the numbers, it is clear that we are a bit over enrolled for the upcoming school year. Unfortunately, this means that we are not yet in a position to admit any more students to Hotchkiss.</p>

<p>Traditionally, we have been able to go to the waiting list during the spring and summer months for a handful of students. However, it is always difficult to predict if we will have any further openings. I understand how difficult it is to wait and I assure you we are watching these numbers very carefully.</p>

<p>In order to keep our records updated, I ask that you telephone our office to confirm your desire to remain on the waiting list. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you have made other plans for next year. </p>

<h2>Thank you for your continued interest and patience. If you have any questions about our waiting list, please feel free to call our office at</h2>

<p>I'm so sorry :(</p>

<p>Well, we have been axiously waiting for getting off the waitlist However, my conclusion is that they do not care about the students on the waitlist. They are preparing for their worst case that they may need one or a few at most just in case any student changes mind later. They never say clearly even after they close the admission process letting students have a little hope even though there is no hope. I decided to forget about all the waitlist since my parents just signed a contract. My experience is that all the waitlist is bogus and it does not mean anything.</p>
