Pleasantly surprised by a waitlist this evening :smiley:

My daughter was accepted to arts & sciences – so excited! Waiting to hear from a few more before deciding.

ACCEPTED AFTER BEING DEFERRED STILL SHAKING AN HOUR LATER

If I was waitlisted to Wharton for Environmental Policy and Management, should I perhaps ask if I can be considered CAS for Environmental Studies?

@tt8082 it is always easy to switch from Wharton to CAS, while it is quite hard to switch from CAS back to Wharton, so consider carefully before you make your decision. You surely can ask, and even if they say no I think you can easily switch after the school year starts.

ACCEPTED INTO WHARTON. SAT:1530/GPA: 4.6. IVY Results: Rejected at: Yale and Princeton. Waitlisted at: Harvard. Accepted at: Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Penn. Good luck to you all.

ACCEPTED

Waitlisted for Nursing!
