<p>Waitlisted! Deciding between Princeton, Yale, Columbia, and Brown…</p>
<p>Fixed the list to remove my name, I’m a parent and my D is not on the waitlist. I do know someone who got in off the waitlist last year but I have no idea if she was proactive or not.</p>

<p>@collegetime18 I think my story is an interesting one. I actually got straight out rejected from UC Berkeley (so I didn’t really have a choice but for choosing UCLA haha), with one of my best essays imho, which got me waitlisted at Harvard. And while many of the people who got waitlisted here got into one or more of the other Ivies (nice job @awesomeness101 and others!), I got waitlisted from those too. I will be appealing my decision to UC Berkeley, and will be writing letters of continued interest to Harvard and the other three schools from which I got waitlisted.</p>
<p>Looking at some of my other non-URM peers with similar/lower qualifications getting into many of these schools–while surprisingly getting rejected to Harvard–I am honestly confused at how my situation ended up, and have never been more convinced this whole thing is nothing but a crapshoot (though agreed, I am an Indian male applying for computer science haha). But at this point, I’m just going to make the best of the opportunities (although slim) I still have at my top 5 schools above UCLA, and see where an extra month of hard work takes me :)</p>
<p>Just wondering, is anyone else in a similar situation as me? Oh and I’m pretty much “unhooked” in the normal sense, though I did take advantage of some unusual opportunities (gave a TEDx talk, organized a benefit concert and raised over $1,000), and have solid stats (val, NMF etc.)</p>
<p>Anyways, good luck everyone! You all are among the best in the country, and you’ll do great things in the future!</p>
<p>What type of information qualifies as legitimate additional info to communicate? Is National Merit Scholars award worthy or is that pretty much anyone? If your app said you were ranked #1 but the Valedictorian had been confirmed,is that worthy? Or is it pretty much fruitless?</p>

<p>Does anyone know if emails sent to <a href=“mailto:fileroom@fas.harvard.edu”>fileroom@fas.harvard.edu</a> get read? I sent two updates in March but I’m not sure if the info was even considered at all in the RD round. Would sending the updates (new awards…etc.) again be redundant and pointless in terms of me trying to get off the waitlist?</p>
<p>I sent an email to that address prior to decisions, and I received an automated email maybe 3 days later saying that they received my update and will add it to my file. Whether they read it or not is unknown, although I do believe they read everything in the file. Updates should be helpful. Talk to your guidance counselor at your high school and he/she can help you through this process.</p>
<p>DS was offered waitlist but I don’t think he’s going to take the spot; he is going to choose between Brown, Williams and Amherst, and is happy with his options ! Good luck to all on the WL!</p>
<p>Waitlisted here. Did get into Stanford for CS, though, but going to stay on to keep options open. </p>

<p>My daughter is on waitlist at Harvard but will not go there. She will decide between Columbia or Carnegie mellon. </p>
<p>I also made the waitlist. I’ll be picking between UT BHP and Dartmouth however. </p>

<p>Just added myself. I’m taking a waitlist spot, but I’m more likely to commit and stick with Stanford (or Princeton/Yale)</p>
<p>@guccigirl
How the heck did you get into Stanford, Princeton, AND Yale?! That’s insane! Congratulations!</p>
<p>I am a waitlist guy too! Will commit to Brown, Princeton, or Johns Hopkins in the mean time!</p>
