U of M Guthrie waitlist

<p>Aaaaaarrrrgh! D just got waitlist letter from U of M... and so the wait continues! Anyone else on the list? Anyone know stats on how many kids they generally waitlist?</p>

<p>bonnie, congrats to your daughter! I am pretty sure that some kids get into Guthrie every year off the waiting list. If I were your daughter, I would definitely let Ken Washington and his crew know immediately if Guthrie is her first choice and that she would definitely accept if an opening comes up. Best wishes!</p>

<p>Got wait-listed as well… Fingers are crossed so hard they hurt!!</p>

<p>Fingers crossed for both of you!</p>

<p>NMR, thanks so much for your reply… passed your advice & info on to my D, and she was really encouraged. Em, keeping my fingers crossed for you, as well! Thanks for the support, LoP… really appreciate the kindness & knowledgeability of folks on this forum! :)</p>

<p>hey guys,
last year about 15 kids were waitlisted in addition to the 20 initially accepted students.
and keep your hopes up. i’m in the freshmen company, and i’d say about 8 people in my company came from the wait list. it changes from year to year, however, though. i know 4 of the sophomores were originally waitlisted.
i do know of a couple accepted students who will probably choose to go elsewhere.
hoping for the best for you guys…curious as to if i met you during callback weekend!
message me if you have any questions.</p>

<p>Thanks sooo much, CCer! Having the stats from the last 2 years is VERY helpful! I just wish we could find out where our D is ranked on the list so we could weigh the odds… she said they were told at callbacks that they wouldn’t be given that info. Here’s hoping there are openings on the way for her & emkolb! BTW I’ll PM you with my D’s name.</p>

<p>Bonnie, I’d love to know if I crossed path with your daughter at callbacks, if you’d send a pm my way as well!</p>

<p>^^ PM on its way! :)</p>
