<p>I haven't posted here in a few weeks, but I'm interested to see how all the waitlisters are getting on? It was such a tough ride for everyone, but I just want to know if anyone is still interested in MoHo, or if they feel the waitlist decision was all for the best.</p>

<p>Like I said, I'm off to Stephens. My scholarship is now $13k, but I'm probably going to try to transfer to BU after I finish my this year. I'm on FaceBook and alot of these girls seem so *****y! I tried to add as many from my class as possible, and one girl sent back the most arrogant reply ever! She has over 1,000 friends on her FB, would it have killed her to be nice to a future classmate? I'm genuinely considering withdrawing my place altogether, except the program I'm joining actually seems really good, and I know I'll be OK if I keep my head down and stick with people who are smart and friendly. </p>

<p>It's also a pretty conservative school, which bugs the hell out of me, as I'm gay and have been for quite a few years, and I don't plan on amending my lifestyle for anyone. But, in saying that, one gay girl did add me and linked me to some of her friends, so that we can hang out next month, which I thought was incredibly sweet. Two of them even have the same major as me. </p>

<p>I found some stuff online about the college too, but most of the women's colleges get a pretty bad report. I think Wellesley was hit really hard. It's just an online site where students give feedback about the college they're attending. Stephens got a really bad report, especially from non-creative arts majors. I heard alot of the Fashion girls are really *****y, are constantly in designer clothes, think they own the school, and are very stupid. One girl volunteered in admissions, and said they were enrolling girls with an ACT of 13. 13!</p>

<p>So, Nisha already knows, I'm so frazzled. I really wish that I was never waitlisted at MoHo! It just made me try very hard to find any college I could get into. I now wish I tried BU or UCLA, or any other university, instead of a liberal arts school that was probably "too safe" for me. I think that returning to school was a difficult decision to make, but it would have been so much easier if I had mature, smart colleagues like the girls at MoHo. Who knows, the way this year has panned out for me so far, I might even try to get a professors position at MoHo in a few years time!</p>

<p>I wish all of you the very best of luck. May you have all of the love, health, wealth, success and happiness this world can bestow on you. </p>

<p>Redsexton, I LOVE YOU. I do not want you to attend any other school :(. I do not know if you applied as a transfer student (which I do not think you did), so why don't you apply again after a year (or one semester). I wish you all the best and I know that you are going to excell wherever you will go, but I pray you will transfer to MHC.</p>

<p>Redsexton, I am so sorry to hear this. I wish you luck and all the best. Also, can you please give me the link where you read about Wellesley and the other colleges?</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your lovely replies! They mean so much to me. I didn't think I was eligible to transfer to MoHo, so I applied as a freshman. Hopefully, in the next few months I'll be about to transfer!</p>

<p>Diplomat, I'm almost certain that the Wellesley bad rep was posted on another site. I cannot find that exact site, but I remember that there was an article posted in "Rolling Stone" re: Wellesley women. </p>

<p>This is a very honest site, with actual student opinions. MHC did really well on this site, even better than Wellesley. I hope this helps. If you're looking for more student opinions, just type the name of a particular college + student opinions into Google. This site is pretty good too: Wellesley</a> College Social Life: Vault Wellesley College Undergrad Student Surveys</p>

<p>Don't get put off though by a bad review. It would be so easy for any of us to get a disappointing grade on a paper we worked our butts off on, and to run to the nearest computer lab, and pour our hearts out as to how much we hate a particular college, due to having a bad day!</p>

<p>Has anyone on the waitlist actually gotten a final letter saying "the waitlist is closed now and you are now officially rejected" or some language like that? When do you know you are definitely not getting in this year?</p>

46

<p>well, they said that they would officially close it in the end of July but to be honest, I doubt if they are going to send out a letter or email since I've never received an actual email or letter saying that I was waitlisted apart from checking on their ISIS.</p>

47

<p>I got mine today. It was post dated 07/25, but the date on the letter was 07/22. I'm glad I got one, even though I wasn't expecting one. It just said they'd heard back from admitted students and had no places to offer. Best of luck and all that. </p>

<p>I guess if you guys haven't got one, you're probably on a "Summer Melt" waitlist. I'm sure each college keeps a few students from the wait list in case some students drop out over the next few weeks.</p>

48

<p>I'd been keeping my fingers crossed for all of you here. I wish you the best in whatever school you get into and the possibilities of transfer to MHC in the (near) future.</p>

<p>Thanks MamaBO! I wish your daughter all the best too! xxxx</p>
