<p>I’m not sure why this is posted on the princeton forum-- princeton (and I assume HYS), meet full need for students off of the waitlist and are need-blind with regards to admitting people off of the waitlist</p>
<p>but waitlists are not need-blind</p>
<p>**** they’re not!?</p>
<p>the waitlist at P, and probably HYS are</p>
<p>Relax basketballbabe:</p>
<p>In addition to the 2,150 offered admission, 1,331 students were offered positions on the wait list, though only half of those students are expected to choose to stay on the wait list, as in past years. </p>
<p>“We are hoping we will have an opportunity to use the wait list this year,” Rapelye said. “In the last five years, we have taken as few as zero and as many as 148 from the wait list.” </p>
<p>While many wait-listed students will choose other alternatives, several hundred are expected to remain on the wait list, and those students who may be offered a spot in May or June will receive the same financial aid considerations as students offered admission this week, Rapelye said.</p>
<p>hmm but are they need blind? i understand they will give full financial aid.</p>
<p>HYP are not about to change need blind re: the wait list. The schools talked about doing this have one fifth to one twentieth the endowment per student of HYP, if that.</p>
<p>thanks! and yeah we were told if admitted, we’d get full financial aid.</p>
<p>Closed. The thread has nothing to do with Princeton.</p>
