Alrighty everyone, countdown of T-3 days! Fingers crossed, and I wish you all the best!

45

Waitlisted to POMONA and Vanderbiltā€¦ If I get another waitlist Iā€™m going to be super upset.

46

Waitlisted at Pomona as well. Can someone consisely explain how waitlisting works? What is the point if you have to agree to a college before May 1st, but donā€™t hear from the waitlist until May 7th??

47

within the last couple days, denied from Pomona, waitlisted at Vanderbilt, and accepted at UCLA

48

Waitlisted at Pomona, waitlisted at Vanderbilt, accepted to UCLA.

I had a dream last night that I was waitlisted at CMC. I dreamed that in their decision letter, they wrote that any additional materials would help them make a decision, so I took several days scouring the internet for videos of myself doing cool things to try to convince them to admit me. I also dreamed that the waitlist was ranked, and that you could see the names of the people on a ranking page and click on it to look at their Facebook page. The person that was number 1 was named ā€œMs Piggy Banks.ā€ Iā€™m not sure how my brain came up with that.

As you can probably tell, the wait until Wednesday is killing me. It probably didnā€™t help to be waitlisted at Pomona, haha.

I got denied at Pomona, but I didnā€™t really want to go there. I desperately want to go to CMC. Itā€™s my top choice.

Anybody do the optional video response?

51

i didnā€™t do the optional video response

52

Nope - too risky haha

53

Claremont is my number one choice as well. Do you think that the optional video makes a difference?

54

No - they say its optional and I think they mean it

55

^Agreed. I didnā€™t do it either, and they seemed pretty adamant that it was optional.

56

I did do the video response for various reasons. Iā€™m pretty sure that it was completely optional, so itā€™s fine if you didnā€™t do it.

57

Some of those videos must be both hilarious and incredibly cringeworthy. Maybe they did it for entertainmentā€™s sake?

58

I was rejected by Pomona in ED round, got waitlisted at Vandy today, have a place at several good LACs in the country including Pitzer. Really eager to know CMC resultā€¦ visited and absolutely liked all 5C campus (Mudd idk though)

59

@jojojohuangā€Œ how do you know your pitzer decision already? Are you international?

60

@ZachSchaafā€Œ yes, I got the email.
