Off the Waitlist

<p>Lots of colleges are calling waitlisted students and "un-waitlisting" them.
Anyone heard from NC State?
Anyone know what happenned last year?</p>

<p>Here is what they stated on their website:</p>

<p>What are the chances of being admitted from the waiting list?
The number of applicants that we will accept from the waiting list depends on how many applicants that we have already admitted decide to enroll at NC State. The number admitted from the wait list varies by NC State academic college. In typical years about 10% overall end up being admitted from the waiting list. Last year we had 1,948 freshmen applicants on the waiting list and were able to accept only 131 (6.7%) from the waiting list. We expect about 1,700 to be on the waiting list for Fall 2011. We will not know how many applicants can be accepted from the waiting list until we find out how many of those already offered admission choose to attend NC State.</p>

<p>When will I have a final decision regarding the waiting list?
We will begin accepting applicants from the waiting list in late May and you will hear from us no later than June 15.</p>

<p>For more detailed information, I found this at [Waiting</a> List - Frequently Asked Questions](<a href=“http://ncstateundergradadmissions.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1899/~/waiting-list---frequently-asked-questions]Waiting”>http://ncstateundergradadmissions.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1899/~/waiting-list---frequently-asked-questions)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I am off the waitlist!!</p>

<p>DENIED!!!</p>

<p>I checked my Wolfpaw account today and there it was.</p>

<p>O well I can concentrate my focus on App now!</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone else!!</p>

<p>DENIED as of this morning - although the email was dated May 14, 2011.</p>

<p>The letter stated I had been placed on the freshman waiting list hoping additional spots would become available for FALL 2011 semester. The letter says additional spots did not become available, therefore my admission will not be given further consideration.</p>

<p>I wasn’t expecting to hear this soon - an earlier letter indicated more like late May - with June 15th being at the latest.</p>

<p>Did anybody else receive a similiar letter ???</p>

<p>Dear xxxxxxx:
We have kept your name on the freshman waiting list hoping that we would be able to accept additional students for
the Fall 2011 semester. Unfortunately, additional space did not become available, and therefore we will be unable to give
further consideration to your admission. We regret this decision and assure you that it was made after careful deliberation.
Please do not consider this letter a negative evaluation of your academic credentials, but a reflection of the competition that
students face in applying to North Carolina State University.
We realize that our decision may cause you to change your educational plans. Therefore we gladly offer our
assistance in helping you identify alternatives that may be open to you. You may want to consider transfer admission to NC
State after at least one full year of successful study at another accredited institution. You will find information regarding our
transfer requirements at [::</a> NC State University Undergraduate Admissions ::](<a href=“http://admissions.ncsu.edu/]::”>http://admissions.ncsu.edu/).
Thank you for your interest in the University and be sure to let us know if we can be of any assistance. We wish you
every success in your educational plans for the future.</p>

<p>If I was going to be denied I am glad it came out sooner that June 15. As I said in my previous post I can now concentrate on preparing for APP State. I am really happy with APP and if I had got into State it would have been a really difficult decision between the two!</p>

<p>Same letter.</p>

<p>I was accepted. They called me the day before May 1st. So, wait for that call!!</p>
