I am Asian, but more specifically South Asian from Bangladesh. I also applied ed1 and my income is 154k+. There must be a reason why I got waitlisted but honestly, I keep blaming myself even though I think I did the best I could. I also applied Ed1 and am a native new yorker

shouldnt it be easier then considering diversity?
I mean we are all really competitive applicants. There could be hundreds of different reasons why we got waitlisted as opposed to accepted.

trust me I felt the same way when I got waitlisted and also got rejected from other schools that I REALLY wanted to go to. I was blaming myself for not doing more in the past and basing my own worth on college admissions, which is so toxic. it sounds so cliche but you are so much more than a stupid school and I know you’re going to succeed anywhere you go

What major did you apply for. For now I got into and committed to northeastern, but NYU remains my top choice. What do you think the chances are homie
a girl at my school also got waitlisted for both columbia and nyu… i also know a few people who got into columbia but were waitlisted at nyu
I only got into my safety schools and am not even committed anywhere rn. I literally have no clue what I’m doing.

If you guys can’t get in with those stats…there’s literally zero chance for me
honestly though… This seems very random because i was also waitlisted with a 1330 SAT and a 3.2 UW GPA. I mean I have some crazy ECs but i thought they would toss my application out the first chance they got

I think the major you apply for and ofc other aspects matter. However, I hope I do get off when they do get to my waitlsit form and see my application again. Praying to get off for Tandon Comp sci tomorrow!!

I was talking to college cons. At my hs school and college use waitlists a lot for diversity requirements. If you are underreported in major or school within college u have a higher chance
