I got waitlisted from both universities and wanted to gauge my chances of getting off the waitlist. Read other similar forums but couldn’t really find a direct answer. Does anyone know roughly how many students are taken off the waitlist for either school? I’ve gotten my first straight A report card my first semester of senior year with the most rigorous classes so I’m hoping it’ll boost my chances even if it’s by a little, but I really can’t assume anything without knowing how many are taken of the waitlist.
See this for general guidelines: http://■■■■■■■■■■■■/home/freshman-appeal-guideline-2015/
And this for last year’s WL figures: http://■■■■■■■■■■■■/home/fall-2014-last-year-frosh-waitlist-appeal-cancellation-numbers/
Be aware that these numbers could be very different this year.
