Is that still what AO is saying? That they’re not sure if they’re using the waitlist? That’s really strange… I thought they’d at least confirm it’s being used, even if only a couple students get in. Logically, they’d inform us right away if they did exceed their yield and had no spots like last year… Also Princeton seems to always release their yield rate quite late so idk. They’re also busy with Reunions or grad or whatever so that’s what I keep telling myself when I cry myself to sleep. 
The AO didn’t say anything. I just assumed they would either start calling students or close the waitlist. Since neither is happening, it is very frustrating.
It is weird that no one has been contacted, especially seeing that it’s this late into the year and people would already have been given their final decisions. I would say make a decision from now about which school you were accepted in that you prefer to attend just in case Princeton doesn’t contact anyone.
I was going off of what someone said before when they called the AO. They still “weren’t sure” if the waitlist is being used or not but that was weeks prior. And yes, most of us have likely committed to our available choices. Being a Canadian student, I’ve committed since April, but we all still have the small hope for Princeton… maybe you’ll have better luck next year HopefulYalie.
Has anyone attempted to contact the Admissions Office?
@verydeep someone should, this will most likely be the last contact with the admissions office.
you said that the woman you spoke to said “we ask for patience”, so be patient
So in conclusion, you’re in this chat to make people feel bad about being on the waitlist—pretty classy.
read what i said “be patient”
i’ve been saying be patient since #76
I first commented in this chat today. I’m not refreshing the page every five seconds or something to see if they notified people. I only commented because you were irritating me.
.
good luck to everyone
Yikes…
But I’m lowkey refreshing every 5 mins tho ?
Gotta do what you gotta do to make yourself feel less worthless ?
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Knock off the bickering and insults. I had to delete several posts.
Waitlist just closed
Welp it’s been a good run… waitlist’s closed. Gl everyone wherever you guys end up at
yeah idk why some people who aren’t even on the waitlist are commenting on this forum. But honestly, at whoever is here looking to apply next year, get off College Confidential!! (if this post gets deleted because of that ouch) Especially if you’re like me, all I got was anxiety comparing myself to others etc. Just give it all you got instead of wasting time here. That being said, HUGE RIP on waitlist. Especially one this long. We did well guys! Now excuse me while I go burn all my Princeton memorabilia 
I wonder if anyone actually got off it… zero news on that online but you never know… Guess we gotta wait for next year’s common data set
No one got off the wait list this year. The student yield (number who accepted an offer of admission) jumped this year and they are over-enrolled. https://paw.princeton.edu/article/large-rise-student-yield
