<p>Firstly i would like to congratulate you on being accepted to Carleton College. I was not so fortunate and have been offered a place on the waitlist. im starting this thread to request all those who have been accepted, but choose to go to other unis to please inform Carleton of their choice as soon as may be possible. This will give all those on the waitlist a chance (however small). Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>I definitely understand that you're frustrated and want to get off the waitlist (I feel your pain at another school). But I just wanted to say that I doubt the speed at which anyone declines their acceptance will affect the waitlist. Everyone who hasn't submitted a deposit by May 1st gives up their spot, and that's when the class will be looked at.</p>
<p>I don't know how frequently Carleton specifically goes to the waitlist, but they certainly have accounted for the fact that admitted students will choose other schools in the number of students they admitted. So it's possible they won't go to the waitlist at all.</p>
<p>If it helps, I've been accepted and probably won't be attending. I hope enough others will decline that you'll have a spot; I wish you the best of luck.</p>
<p>well if that just doesnt suck. after my grammaticlly correct paragraph and everythin.</p>
<p>hmmmm i think im over it anyways guess ill go to lafayette.</p>
