Wait-Listed... What to do now?

<p>wow. i got waitlisted. this is shocking. I thought I was in for sure. 3.6 UW GPA, 3.9 W GPA. 27 ACT, ALOT of ECs, great essays, and great recs.<br>
Anyone who got in and doesn’t want to go there PLEASE say you don’t want to go there. I AM SICK OF WAITING lol. Does anyone know how long I am going to have to wait to find out if I am accepted?
What should I do now? Do I send a letter? Call? Does wait-listed basically mean that I have to wait until a spot becomes avaliable?</p>

<p>I got waitlisted, too. Well your first step would be to accept your spot on the waitlist. Most people get notified after being on a waitlist after May 1st. The catch is that all non-refundable college deposits are due by May 1st, so you will still have to choose a college before May 1st. So even if you do get BU you will still have the $200 that you won’t get back from paying the deposit to one of your other schools.</p>

<p>waitlisted as well, so mad.</p>

<p>are u serious…MAY 1st!!! I can’t wait that long! I will just accept to another school. If BU doesn’t want me that bad, then that is their loss. I have seen alot of people on here that got in when I have better stats. This is so disappointing, this was supposed to be my safety school. So do i send a letter? AHHH! I HATE THIS!</p>

<p>Hahah.</p>

<p>I got rejected, and I honestly thought I had a pretty good shot. 4.0 GPA UW, 1780 SAT, 5 extracurriculars dedicated to my field (including starting my own business)… oh well!</p>

<p>So there’s no way to get accepted before May 1st?</p>

<p>No there’s no way to know before May 1st. You most likely won’t know until June.</p>
