<p>I was waitlisted as well. (Which was actually something of a pleasant surprise, as I was expecting to be rejected outright). Will be sending card back, but trying not to get my hopes up. Anyone know how many people are typically accepted off the waitlist?</p>
<p>Congratulations to all of the accepted students! I received my admissions decision yesterday and I am waitlisted. Anyway, I am also interested in my chances of being accepted :) Do you have any information about that?</p>
<p>Waitlisted. Congrats to everyone accepted.</p>
<p>Here's some information given by another user on the bmc2009 LJ community:</p>
<p>if you want to get off the wait-list, here are my suggestions. my boyfriend was wait-listed for swarthmore and got in as one of 30 people from a 200 person wait-list using this method:
1) visit the school again and try to talk to professors and administators, particularly those that are in your intended field of study.
2) write a letter to whoever is in charge of admissions telling them how much you want to go here. if you are certain you want to go to bryn mawr, insure them that if you were offered admission you would not refuse. sometimes colleges wait-list students that they are not sure will attend.
3) continue to send additional materials, awards, essays, etc., show them that youre intrested.</p>
<p>I agree with fiyeroandfae.</p>
<p>Please be realistic with the
numbers. Last years wait list
was 207. One, yes 1 student
got in.</p>
<p>Only one? Off of BMC's waitlist? Wow.</p>
<p>I'm going to decline the waitlist....good luck to all those waitlisted! </p>
