<p>Twin son and daughter (seniors to be) also dropped their interested in Dartmouth after reviewng that article. I would have dismissed the article, had it been based just on the one source, who had an ax to grind. But enough other frat members confirmed enough of the story to concern me. </p>

<p>Good luck to all on the Harvard wait list! In and of itself, making the Harvard wait list is a terrific accomplishment (although obviously getting in is much better).</p>

22

<p>I don’t understand the point of dropping from a waitlist, because even if you are accepted off the waitlist can’t you still not choose to go the school. Unless Harvard is different?</p>

23

<p>Deposited at MIT. Really wanted Yale but got rejected. If Harvard takes me, I have no idea what I’ll do. </p>

<p>^ haha Toasty I’m in the same position… Really wanted Yale but I got rejected. Hoping for Harvard!</p>

25

<p>@lolToasty: Congrats! I realty wanted MIT but got rejected. Also hoped for Stanford but no success their either. I feel my interview with Harvard was great, while the MIT was awkward for some reason and I didn’t interview for Stanford. Deposited at UT-Austin but praying for Harvard!!!</p>

26

<p>I got three waitlists from the Ivies :(</p>

27

<p>^ Same here. It kinda blows but luckily I sent in my deposit to an awesome school </p>

<p>Moy, where are you from? I’m from San Antonio. Swimfreak, where did you deposit? Stupid Yale. </p>

<p>My son’s on the WL as well. Going to Brown if H doesn’t come through (he 's excited about Brown so it will be ok either way). </p>

<p>Anyone know when they will announce how many they expect to take off the WL?</p>

34

<p>

</p>

<p>The article did freak me out a bit, but I’ve heard from some students that it was also blown out of proportion. Regardless, I feel like college is what you make it and Dartmouth is no different. I loved all the other aspects of the school too much to let the hazing scandal change my mind. :)</p>

35

<p>Fair enough. I didn’t mean to start a waitlist exodus or anything ><. Any idea when we’ll start hearing?</p>

36

<p>lolToasty I’m about an hour from you! Haha I live in Stockdale its south of San Antonio (small 2A community)</p>

37

<p>Toasty I ended up depositing at Fordham! I was going to deposit at Cornell, but the aid package was very poor.</p>

<p>Insights anyone?</p>

<p>“President Faust announced an “80 percent yield” for the entering freshman class of the fall of 2012. For those unhip enough not to know the “yield” lingo, the numerator is the number of applicants who accepted a place at Harvard College after having been informed of being admitted, divided by the number of people who were offered a place. This 80 percent figure, reported President Faust, is the highest figure since 1971. My recollection is that Harvard has in the past reported that its yield is the highest of any university. So 80 percent must be some kind of candidate for the Guinness Book of Records. Huzzah!”</p>

<p>Maybe 25-30 off the waitlist</p>

<p>I take it that means our chances at getting off the waitlist are doomed… If that is true…</p>
