Rejected, wasnā€™t expecting to get in anyways so no big deal

Got waitlisted. Congratz to everyone!

Pup was waitlisted as well, but since she got into others she liked more, she is not concerned. Congratulations to those who got in, and good luck to those waitlisted who may still have hope.

Surprised I was accepted. Got into Berkeley and Swarthmore today. Today was a good day.

Has anyone gotten any more information from Swarthmore about Ride the Tide after confirming travel plans and submitting the overnight form?

CC probably isnt the best place for samplings, but it seems like alot of people were waitlistedā€¦as was I.

Another school whose stats I look up revealed that they waitlist twice as many as they acceptā€¦ thatā€™s a darn long wait listā€¦

do an of us have a tangible chance? (of course notā€¦ oh well). At least I got into one other school so I probably wont commit suicideā€¦yetā€¦

anyone know anything about the waitlist?

My son, who was wait-listed, was not accepted. He got the email yesterday.
