<p>If only that were true, but it's not. =[</p>
<p>I would hate to be waitlisted again. (Already waitlisted at Stanford -_-)</p>
<p>dwindlelights, I know how you feel... I've been wailisted at three colleges (Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Caltech; one rejection so far - MIT; no acceptances from top schools and Harvard is the only decision left... at least I have a fairly good safety)! I would hate to be waitlisted again... I can't decide whether I should accept spots on all of these waiting lists or not!</p>
<p>tapedDuck, wow......that must just be awful to be waitlisted at those top tier schools.....which is probably going to happen to me on Monday. Hopefully Harvard takes you so it can break your waitlisted streak. </p>
<p>I'm waiting for Columbia, Princeton, Yale, and Harvard so I'm trying to cross my fingers...</p>
<p>But on a lighter note, being waitlisted is suppose to mean that we were qualified but they had no more room. Let's hope that Harvard has room for the both of us. =]</p>
<p>but if an applicant is qualified and he/she doesnt get in, then it means there was someone else more qualified haha</p>
<p>For the Class of 2012, I heard that about 7% of the applicant pool will be accepted -- I believe the number is approximately 1,950 admitted students, according to my friend who works for a proctor that serves as an Admissions Officer for the College.</p>

<p>We will know pretty soon, but I would have guessed a lower number of admitted applicants this year.</p>
<p>is it permissible to accept a waitlist position at multiple schools?</p>
<p>It's fine to accept a waitlist at multiple schools. It's just not fine to accept admission at multiple schools, so if after you've accepted an admission, you are offered a space off another college's waitlist, you must withdraw your admission to the original college that you accepted.</p>
