<p>oooh really? then is it perhaps
<a href=“mailto:college@fas.harvard.edu”>college@fas.harvard.edu</a>??</p>

<p>^ it’ll be fas.harvard.edu</p>

<p><a href=“mailto:college@fas.harvard.edu”>college@fas.harvard.edu</a> is the main email to Harvard College :D</p>

<p>and all current students have like <a href=“mailto:firstnamelastname@fas.harvard.edu”>firstnamelastname@fas.harvard.edu</a> emails :)</p>

<p>Umm one other person at my school was waitlisted and she is not accepting her place on the waitlist… 4 others applied (i think) and got rejected</p>

<p>Feel free to add me to the waitlist. From our school, we had three accepted (1 athlete) and at least four or five waitlisted, but there may be more.</p>

<p>Judging from this it looks like the WL is much bigger than 1200… maybe 2000+?</p>

<p>I think thats a fair estimate.</p>

<p>Yale 26,000 applicants = 1,052 waitlistees
Harvard 29,112 applicants = 1,178 waitlistees? :D</p>

<p>I think 1,200 is a fair estimate, and 2/3 of this stay so = 785 left :D</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Based upon what?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Accepted students (class size) is a better predictor of waitlist size than applications.</p>

<p>From the admitted students’ days I went to, I met more waitlisted kids than rejected kids. Everyone I personally know from my state was waitlisted. I was waitlisted. Very many kids here were waitlisted. </p>

<p>This is all anecdotal evidence… but I can’t help but thinking the waitlist is huge, especially because numbers are not released (sketchy) and there “seem” to be far less PY waitlistees. I wouldn’t be surprised by a waitlist in the 2000’s+. I threw down my gauntlet, it’s time to wait.</p>

<p>^same here, i met more waitlisted kids than rejected kids. this might be because we were all probably admitted to competitive schools anyway, and so there’d be a higher percentage of bubble applicants… i mean, we all must have been somewhat qualified to be waitlisted nonetheless…
but if harvard accepted 2046 this yr i guess at most there’d be 2500 offered a spot on the waiting list, and 2/3 accept a spot, so 1300 remain at worst?</p>

<p>1300 isn’t 2/3 of 2500</p>

<p>oops, sorry, i meant 1600+. sorry! :P</p>

<p>The admissions office has clearly said hundreds and hundreds not thousands and thousands. Thereby I would guess not more than 1,900.</p>

<p>But I would put my guess on 1200 or something.</p>

<p>yeah i personally know A LOT of kids who were waitlisted and not rejected</p>

<p>also, is the waitlist binding? if i stay on teh waitlist and then get accepted, am i required to go? or can i decide not to go if I fall in love with another school in the meantime?</p>
