<p>If she doesn’t accept a spot on the waitlist, won’t she always have a “what if I had gotten in” lingering regret? I would. So, if Wesleyan is still her top choice (might change this month as she bonds with the school she is accepting), I think she should get on the list and see what happens (understanding the low chance of coming off the list). Last year my impression was that males on the waitlist were more successful, but this is not confirmed and could certainly change this year.</p>
