<p>last year the first wave of notifications for admitting people off the wait list was around 5/17ish. this year because students on the extended wait list was notified at that time, it makes me think that basically no one was admitted off the regular wait list because they had to resort to the active wait list so early. and if there really is just 100 of us on this extended wait list, a few students might actually be admitted off this one</p>
<p>I’m on the extended waitlist too. By the looks of how many people are posting on College Confidential alone, my guess is that there is a lot more than 100 people on the extended wait list, but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>Agreed iglockenspiel. Perhaps they’re taking kids solely from College confidential? :D</p>
<p>Sorry this is so late, but @SirStPierre, yes I’m on the extended waitlist. </p>
<p>To everyone else, I did send my LOCI in and received a reply from my admissions officer, saying thank you and wishing me luck for the rest of my senior year. It was a pretty standard message, nothing special. Don’t worry if they didn’t reply, depending on the officer their inboxes must have been inundated with emails and couldn’t possibly reply to them all. </p>
<p>I agree with lucya, I don’t think many (if any) were taken off the waitlist in the first round, given that lucya’s officer told us that they didn’t even have stats yet. </p>
<p>Don’t worry guys, its just another month of waiting. We’ve gotten so far already, right? Busy yourselves with some hobbies or something, time will fly by :)</p>
<p>So basically it’s possible for penn to notify us anytime from now until mid-June (what is their definition of mid-June)?</p>
<p>Yep lucya01995, it’s rolling. Probably the end of the June 15 week. After that is likely another wait list, with worse odds of getting off.</p>
<p>Okay, can we count how many of us there are and for which schools. If there are as many of us as it seems, there may be more than 50-100 of us, unless we’re all on CC.</p>

<p>i don’t think there’d be any less than 100 (at least not from the looks of the article) but i severely doubt there’d be much more. i don’t see penn as holding 800 people in the active wait list when they have already over-enrolled. also, schools like brown and rice have already notified students that they won’t be using their wait lists at all this year (not even an extended one) so i think penn is just using the active wait list to be safe. also, the active wait list might be for people who they think fit the profile of other students who they worry might be part of the summer melt or those who they were close to admitting in the regular round? we might just all be on CC. </p>

<p>if anyone has time, can they try to call their regional admissions officer and find out how many people are on this active wait list and if they expect to take any of us at all? i would do it myself, but i have work all week after school and i just kind of want to know</p>
<p>Which one of you guys on the active waitlist is currently matriculated at Princeton?</p>
<p>I just spoke to my regional admissions officer and she says she has no idea how many of us are on the active wait list or how many they plan to take off. She also doesn’t know if anyone has been taken off the regular wait list. From the sounds of it, the decision to accept students off the wait list is not in the hands of our regional admissions officers but people who are higher up</p>
<p>… Who else is there?</p>
<p>Idk but she kept saying that “her higher-ups haven’t released any information to her.”</p>
<p>Any news, anyone?</p>
<p>I’m on it for Arts and Sciences</p>
<p>so looking through the past few year’s wait lists, it seems that this year was the earliest penn has sent out extended wait list offers. usually, they notify students about being on the active wait list at the very end of may.</p>
<p>^ From the Daily Pennsylvanian article to which I linked in post #11, it sounds like they really want to wrap this up this year by the end of the high-school year, if possible.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they have accepted anyone off the wait list? The article made it seem that they would only put people on the active wait list and then go from there. I do know some people accepted to dartmouth just decided to take a gap year (within the last two days)</p>
<p>Still haven’t heard anything. I’m really hoping for a positive response!</p>
<p>no news is good news</p>
