<p>i just got a letter today saying i was wait-listed.....
dose anyone know, what is the chance of getting in?
the bad side is..i got reject...
the bright side is, at least i'm not off yet.
someone please help me on this. i need to know really bad.
it well, take loads off my back now.
O! and do wait-listed people know the final answer like really late? when?</p>
<p>OK, this is normally not good. They are basically telling you "Hey, we only have so many spots for incoming freshman. We don't have one for you right now. We are going to tell a bunch of other people they can have these spots first if they want one (the "accepted" folks). Once we hear from these people, we'll let you know if we have any left over spots." </p>
<p>If they do, they will offer them to the wait listed folks. They will not tell you this until all of the accepted people contact them and tell them if they are going or not. That will be after May 1. </p>
<p>I'm assuming you got accepted somewhere else, like your "B" school. What you need to do is accept enrollment at your "B" school, because they will have a May 1 deadline too. Then if by chance Parson tells you that you can come off the wait list, you can accept their offer. You'll be out the deposit at your "B" school, but that was your insurance in case Parson never calls. </p>
<p>If I were you I would forget about Parsons and start focusing on your "B" schools. If you hear from Parsons after May 1, treat it as a pleasant surprise.</p>
<p>Most waitlisted applicated are sorted by either number of groups. You should call the school and find out how high up in the wait list you are. If you are very high up, you probably have a fair chance of acceptance. In fact, you can ask admissions about your chances.</p>
