124

<p>I haven’t heard from exeter? Am i rejected?!</p>

125

<p>dont worry they can’t notify every1 at the same time</p>

126

<p>@woowoo20 - I believe the people who have heard from Deerfield are international applicants. Deerfield is mailing decisions by US Mail. I believe they may arrive today - but they may arrive Monday or even Tuesday, depending on where in the country you live.</p>

<p>CarlyAnn - the email could be coming to your parent’s email. Also check email spam filters.</p>

127

<p>thanks mountain hiker. can anyone confirm that because my friend and I are both international applicants</p>

128

<p>Ok, I’m waitlisted at Exeter. How many people get in when waitlisted…? For 11th grade? Ugh more waiting…</p>

129

<p>@CarlyAnn - there is a good thread re: Waitlist -</p>

<p>[The</a> Wait List - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=1300302&referrerid=228550]The”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=1300302&referrerid=228550)</p>

<p>“Love the School that Loves You” - if you have acceptances at other schools, my advice would be to be happy with those admits, and move on.</p>

130

<p>@CarlyAnn, here are numbers from the 2011 admissions round:</p>

<p>PA 3186 applicants, 14% admitted, 79% yield rate
PEA 2600 applicants, 19% admitted, 69% yield rate
DA 2355 applicants, 13% admitted, 65% yield rate
SPS 1402 applicants, 16% admitted, 68% yield rate
Ch 1987 applicants, 21% admitted, 64% yield rate</p>

<p>Yield rate refers to the percentage of admitted kids who actually end up enrolling, e.g., PEA had a yield rate of 69% last year, which means 31% of the accepted kids decided to go elsewhere.</p>

<p>To get off the WL, the school will have to have over-estimated their yield rate.</p>

<p>Removed my “fixed” list - someone else fixed it first!</p>

135

<p>@GMTplus7 do you know those stats for Mercersburg? I was wait listed, and crushed.</p>

136

<p>@Mburghopeful12,</p>

<p>I found the numbers on the schools’ websites. </p>

<p>Hang in there. For the schools on that short list I compiled, WL is not very promising. But that may not be the case for other schools.</p>

137

<p>I found another thread where all they were talking about is how a wait list is basically a no… Is it really true?</p>

138

<p>there is still a chance since schools calculate their yield rate and accept more students than they need so if the yield rate is higher than expected they can still just have 1 or 2 more people in their grade. some time when the waitlist is looked at is when a sports recruit declines the offer</p>

139

<p>@mburghopeful12 - it really depends on the school and yields. My son was waitlisted at St Pauls, Exeter, and Andover last year and did not make it off the waitlist. He reapplied this year and we have only heard from Exeter but it was an acceptance this time.</p>
