<p>I think we should have a more stable waitlist thread, to determine how many of us on CC are actually on the waitlist, any updates, and just general comments and concerns.</p>
<p>Congrats on getting onto the Harvard waitlist during the most difficult admissions year in history! Now let's support each other!</p>
<p>I guess great minds must think alike! We posted our threads at about the same time. We can use your thread, wish I could delete mine.</p>

<p>I have a feeling they waitlisted at least 1500 students.</p>
<p>I also got waitlisted</p>
<p>Does anyone know how big the waitlist is yet? If it is only 1500 students then I actually feel pretty lucky</p>
<p>It definitely is over 1000 kids</p>
<p>That's what I assumed, any more accurate answers? Did your counselor say this?</p>
<p>Nothing can be confirmed until at least May 1, news might not come out until as late as May 20th... it really sucks</p>

<p>For some reason, I thought I read somewhere (on the internet) that Harvard's wait-list has 700 students (this year). That info could be completely erroneous, but I'm just throwing another number out there, and hoping it's right!</p>

Fitzsimmons said that the admissions office might be relying more than usual on the waitlistwhich numbers in the many hundredsto fill up the Class of 2012.

<p>While "many hundreds" could technically be ten or eleven or fifteen, I don't think you would use that phrase unless the number is under 1,000.</p>

<p>For some reason, I have a feeling that it's more than 1000. IDK, maybe it's just teh fact that like 4/5 people who applied from my school were WL.</p>
