<p>If you got the phone call from Princeton saying that you were taken off the waitlist, how would you react? Speak calmly? Cry with happiness? Shout with joy?</p>
<p>Does Princeton do waitlist phone calls?</p>
<p>It says in their letter that they will call and then follow up with a letter</p>
<p>Well then I guess most people would be overjoyed! What would you do gatsby?</p>
<p>I'm not sure. I don't really show my emotions that much. I would probably be overjoyed on the inside, but somewhat stiff/serious on the outside.</p>
<p>Most schools will not take you off the waitlist until you have committed to accept the invitation verbally.</p>
<p>It is because the list is not ranked, and you are very likely being asked to fill a particular "slot" relating to your interests, abilities, "diversity points" etc..</p>
<p>It is also because most schools aim for a 100% yield from waitlist admits.</p>
<p>I think I would finally get my jump up and down screaming moment.</p>
