UCONN Waiting List

<p>gregj135</p>

<p>Can’t say if it official or not but several sites claim 3,300 offerred Waitlist last year - 1,800 accepted waitlist but only 14 enrolled from the waitlist</p>

<p>[University</a> of Connecticut: Average SAT and ACT Scores, GPA Requirements and Tuition](<a href=“Welcome schoolaah.com - BlueHost.com”>Welcome schoolaah.com - BlueHost.com)</p>

<p>So more than half of the waitlist got accepted, and less than 1% of that enrolled? That doesn’t seem right.</p>

<p>my son gave up his spot in Engineering so I hope that helps someone else! He is deciding between NEU and UMass Amherst.</p>

<p>btw, from the common data set for fall 2009 (couldn’t find fall 2010)</p>

<p>Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list 4,186
Number accepting a place on the waiting list 1,667
Number of wait-listed students admitted 434 </p>

<p>so about 26% of the waitlist was accepted in 2009</p>

<p>Two other questions: Does UConn ask for any updated grades when they review waitlisted students at the end of May?</p>

<p>And if they don’t “rank” the waitlisted students in any way, does anyone know what their policy may be when they go to admit students from it?</p>

<p>I was placed on the waiting list for UConn (I applied to their engineering program) and I REALLY hope I get in.</p>

<p>We thought UCONN would be my son’s safety school, especially as we needed to see what other schools would offer in terms of $$$$ and yet he was waitlisted!
