Hi guys!
Just realized one of these hadn’t been made yet.
How’s the situation…Anyone panicking? Anyone got in? Anyone given up?..lol
Hi!
I have been waitlisted too, I have not heard anything back yet. Does anybody know when they would (at the soonest) start contacting waitlisted candidates??
I saw a thread about someone who got off on the 2nd but that’s an outlier.
My guess is 15th next week(judging from previous years)
I tried to do things that increased my odds of getting off, sending letters and an extra recommendation. I also sent in 3 AP scores that I didn’t send in in November (two 5s and a 4). I don’t know how much that will help though. My grandmother attended too, so you could say I’m a “legacy.”
Did you do anything after you found you were waitlisted? Do you think there’s anything more they would want sent in…although it might be a little late at this point…
@zoemv2 I’m pretty sure you’ve done the whole nine yards.
I sent in a letter of continued interest, emailed my guidance counselor and sent my official score reports.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Yes, I think waiting is the only thing we can do at this point. Just out of curiosity, where else did you apply/get in??
I got into UW Madison and St.Lawrence, after being rejected from MIT.
I committed to St.Lawrence but my hopes(albeit small) are with Swarthmore - my current first choice.
What about you @zoemv2?
I have been waitlisted at Hamilton, Swat, and Colgate. Rejected from Midd (my top choice) and accepted into Union college, University at Buffalo, and Fordham.
I’m in an odd situation because I could’ve been a recruited athlete at Swat. Coach was interested but never got the chance to come watch me play before I applied.
I think the thing that kept me from acceptance were my SATs. They aren’t bad, just probably in the lower range for Swat.
Also, curious as to where you found the thread that said somebody got off the waitlist on the 2nd?
You have great schools already. I really hope we get into Swat though.

Interesting, I wonder if Swat reaching out that early had anything to do with the kid majoring in computer science. I’m going for biology, probably a pretty common major. I don’t know. Such a guessing game with such a selective school…
Definitely let me know if you hear anything more within the coming weeks!! @cardinal254
I was accepted off the wait list on May 3rd! I was notified through a call.
Congrats @byungirl !!!
If you don’t mind me asking, where are you from and which major are you going for?
congrats!I If you dont mind me asking,did you apply for financial aid?Thanks.
Did anyone else get the email today?
Yes. The “mixed news” email. It’s not very unique apparently. Guess that’s our soft rejection @lurooos
what did it say?
