<p>PetPet-I agree--all of these hard working, top scholars should get to go where they want. It is so different from when I was their age-basically, if you did well, you did get the college of your choice. We all had our children at the wrong time!!-now they have to be great with a little luck stirred in.</p>
<p>Yes indeed it does seem that they are admitting students with some kind of geographical bias. We are in NYC.</p>
<p>ConcernedPapa-I feel your pain-we are also in the NE</p>
<p>More info for the stats -- My son is on the waitlist. His school is in CT. </p>
<p>I haven't posted before but I have found the other postings very supportive!</p>

Good Luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I added a location</p>
<p>Great job Ivymom keeping this thread updated!</p>
<p>My son is nervous that his code doesn't work for the admitted students page of the website. Is anyone else's working yet?</p>
<p>emmabelle,</p>
<p>When my son was admitted RD his code didn't work at first either. It took about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks before it worked. When he called H they told him that once you are placed into the system as an admitted student it takes about 1 - 2 weeks for the system to update. Don't worry! </p>
<p>Congratulation!</p>
<p>adding location...</p>

<p>-- PetPet,
My D has nearly the same academic profile. I have come to understand the admission process is not a fair game. Many factors that we cannot control are actually working against or for us, such as race, social-economic status, .first in the family to go to college, geographic..
We the parents all know that Pedigree is only relevant to a very small fraction of the jobs, such as Prof at Ivy's, supreme court judges, maybe presidential candidates.. I am sure our kids will be just successful whether it's H or state school under their belts. If they can get in to H, it will be great. This may open the door to some of the scarce jobs I just mentioned above. I know for sure that if they just want to be a practicing doctors or lawyers, it does not matter that much which undergraduate school they go. It is the undergraduate GPA, therefore their efforts in college, that matters.
Being a waitlistee is heck of accomplishment.
Cheers.</p>
<p>From AZ. </p>
<p>S on H wait list. He is excited about his current committed school. Don't think he is anxious to hear from H (I am!).</p>
<p>For anyone interested, here is an updated CC wl.<br>
My apologies for any errors or anyone unrepresented. Feel free to give a shout out or make appropriate updates.
Good Luck to everyone!</p>
<p>CC wl totals; 108 wl; 17 admitted (1 declined, 1 undecided)</p>

<p>From looking at this lengthy list, it is hard to tell if there is any rhyme or reason to it. Looks like California, Florida, New York and Mass. are at least "under review" with a couple other "single case" admits from PA, IN and VA. And the waiting continues..........</p>
<p>I got the call! but for admission in 2013...
bio major from MA
dartmouth next year or harvard and a gap year... i dont know...</p>
<p>wsm713...Could you explain the phone call a bit more? did they ask you to wait a year?</p>
<p>Congratulations wsm!!!</p>
<p>2013??? So H is starting on the so called z list? I wonder if this relates to the major/concentration or whether further admits will be offered this option only.</p>
<p>I agree with ccn's comments - "I am sure our kids will be just successful whether it's H or state school under their belts".</p>
<p>We the parents all know that Pedigree is only relevant to a very small fraction of the jobs, such as Prof at Ivy's, supreme court judges, maybe presidential candidates... From ccn</p>
<p>I would like to add more comments on the top of ccn's. Top professional school (Law, Medical, and Business) has accepted students from over hundreds of institutions. There is Harvard undergraduates could not make to the top professional or graduate schools. It heavily depends on the student's college performance. </p>
<ul>
<li><p>Supreme Court Judges normally graduates from top Law schools and most graduated from Ivy caliber colleges. Harvard is not the only one. There are handful colleges will do the job for our kids.</p>
<ul>
<li>Prof at Ivy's: a family friend of mine actually gets his PhD from a college below the 365 colleges named by Princeton Review. He worked very hard and get a few publishes on highly regards journals. Then he did his first post-doctor with a professor at Columbia and the second with a professor at Harvard. Both his post-doctor advisors are famous in his field. Now he is a full professor at Cornell. It can be done. He has no degrees from any of Ivy (undergraduate or graduate). The university he went even not in top 365 schools. </li>
<li>Presidential candidates: take Barack Obama as an example, he attended Occidental College for two years and transfer to Columbia. After 5 years he graduated from Columbia, he attends Harvard Law School. It was a long journey.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>Best regards to ALL!</p>
<p>Sequoia, sorry for the ignorance, what is the z list?</p>
<p>yup its the z list... she just said that harvard would be able to offer me admission to the class of 2013. i asked her if i there would be a chance that i would be able to go for 2012 and she said almost definitely not. anyway, she said i would get further info in a packet later this week, and then have a week to decide after that. she also said i could do anything i wanted with my year off except go to another school...</p>
<p>Terry; I would never be able to find the link, but read about this a couple of weeks ago here on the forum. Apparently applicants can be put on this list to be admitted in the following year. I'm not sure if it means that places are full, but they still wish to offer spots to selected students.
I hope someone else can clarify this.</p>
