So you are waitlisted at Stanford

<p>Your friends are one in a million. This applies to all HYPS. When H takes people from waitlist, it does the same thing – avoid the rest of HYPS. So does Yale. I am not sure about Princeton this year, they probably needs to avoid Columbia also.</p>

<p>^Yeah. What the hell happened to Princeton this year??</p>

<p>Looks like that Stanford could meet the target or over-enroll again, and it could be a bad news for the people on the waitlist.</p>

<p>With a predicting 73% yield, they could enroll 2300*73%=1679 (target 1700), which leaves not much room for waitlist. Predication for the yields: H-73%, Y-74%, S-73%, P-50%?</p>

24

<p>^There’s NEVER much room for the waitlist, so it’s definitely still a possible that they will draw from the waitlist.</p>

<p>but that 73% was just an estimation from the dean of freshman - hardly a concrete answer.</p>

25

<p>It could only go higher.</p>

26

<p>So I’m about to send in my final update to Stanford via the waitlist form.</p>

<p>Should I include a thank you to the committee for reconsidering my application?</p>

<p>I don’t want to seem like I’m going overboard or anything…but it feels like the polite thing to do.</p>

<p>and now we wait :D</p>
