Hi all, has anyone heard back from Pitzer on getting off the wait list? I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Nothing here
@chicalmom Except for a letter on May 4th said they are not making any addition offer at the moment and still waiting for gap year kids to decide. I’m wondering if their yield is high enough this year?
@greencross I called today and the lady who answered said that all final decisions would come out by 5/28.
@chicalmom Thanks for letting me know. Did you ask if they already move someone off the waitlist? It’s kinda weird that we’re the only two people here in this thread.
@greencross I think it is all proportionate to the school itself. Pitzer is so small compared to many of the schools in CA. If you look at the regular Pitzer 2022 thread, I believe there are only 5 pages. But head over to the UC Berkeley thread and it is upwards of 180 pages. Much bigger school, more applicants… To answer your question though, I only asked if all notifications had gone out. The lady said no, but by May 28, everyone who opted into the waitlist would be notified. Wish I had better news. Tired of waiting here too. Hang in there and best of luck to you!
@chicalmom Thank you for the information. Good luck to you too. I’m anxiously waiting here too. This is my dream school so I did put a lot of effort and hope in the application. Did you send any other materials to Pitzer?
@greencross Any word?
@chicalmom None yet. How about you? This is taking forever. I don’t know whether they’re going to start calling people on May 28th or close the waitlist on 28th?
Nothing here either. I think May 28 is when the last decisions come out. Not sure if they will call but I’m guessing the portal will be updated.
@chicalmom So the wait continues. I think there is very little chance here. I’m dropping it. I think I’m happy with my committed college at the moment. Good luck!
@greencross Ya, I guess the 5/28 date they quoted me was bogus. Disappointed, but I’m with you, time to move on. I wish you the best of luck on your new journey!
@greencross D got email that final decision had not been made yet and that, if she’s still interested, she needs to opt into the waitlist AGAIN, and provide MORE info. She’s done with being strung along though. Is looking forward to attending UC Davis, majoring in Sustainable Environmental Design
@chicalmom UC Davis is a great school. Your daughter is gonna love it there. Wishing her lots of luck. It seems like this Pitzer class is full and they are using the waitlist to fill in if a space becomes vacant all of a sudden. There is no chance. And more info is just too much. I don’t know what more to tell them. This year is rather weird. Btw, goodbye Pitzer. I’m heading to Whitman in the fall.
