<p>I got a letter today from Colorado School of Mines asking me if I would like to be put on the wait list. I didn't know they had a wait list. Moreover, I can't even find statistics for last years wait list. </p>
<p>Does anyone know the chances of getting off the wait list at Mines?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My son also got a wait list letter. Like you, we were a little surprised, Mines was actually his safety school, although I guess we’re not supposed to call it that. He did send back the form asking to be put on the wait list. It’s a little confusing in that he had sent an email last week asking about the status of his admission and was told there was something missing related to his HS transcript.</p>
<p>Yep, same thing here, and to be honest, I was very surprised. Supposedly, they’ve had a 50% surge in applications this year. Too bad there’s very little information on the web concerning any aspect of Colorado School of Mines applications.</p>
