<p>ummmm... shouldn't I know whether I was accepted or not by now?</p>
<p>You should probably call the admission's office.</p>
<p>I haven't heard from them either...</p>
<p>same thing here</p>
<p>I heard back from Trin around April 4th, so give it at least until Friday, methinks.</p>
<p>same thing also here ....</p>
<p>haven't heard from it either...
I'm an intel...</p>
<p>Thats so weird. I wonder whats taking them sooo long.</p>
<p>what are they waiting for :mad:</p>
<p>any progress guys?</p>
<p>none whatsoever....</p>
<p>I received my email -- waitlisted AGAIN</p>
<p>its ok knox, you'll probably get in.</p>
<p>I'm an intel and I also just recieved the waitlist notification by e-mail.
@knox did you ask for aid?</p>
<p>will they be mailing out the letters as well, or are we supposed to respond by e-mail? Also, what are my chances if I asked for financial aid as an international student? Does anyone know if they have used the wait list in the past (heavily)?</p>
<p>a lot questions, i know, but I thought I had a pretty good chance....</p>
<p>Trinity's admission is need-blind, so they won't know that you want financial aid until after you're accepted.</p>
<p>I'm not sure that Trinity "heavily" uses it waitlist... there is only space for 575 members of a new class, so really I think it would depend on the response from accepted students. However, if it does make you feel better, I know several students from the class of 2011 who were accepted off of the waiting list.</p>
<p>Trinity isn't need-blind for international students.</p>
<p>tanveer149 -- I don't know an int applicant who hasn't applied for FA :)
so yes, I applied for FA</p>
<p>Trinity is most-likely utilizing its waitlist to raise its percent yield (aka tufts syndrome--wikipedia it). They are trying to keep kids that seem like they'll get into better schools from lowering their yield--thus, if you seem very qualified for admission (as I am assuming you are), and you send Trinity (or any other school youre waitlisted at which seemed like a fit/safety) a letter that expresses your desire to go solely to their school (although they don't know how truthful you're being--unless they check with other schools) you will have a very good chance of being admitted.<br>
Good luck.</p>
