Waiting list for Fall 2010

<p>I was accepted to the spring 2011 semester. They also put me on the wait list for fall 2010. Did anyone else get into the spring semester and get wait listed for the fall semester? Of those wait listed...historically do most wait listed get into the fall semesters?</p>

<p>I’m the same as you. I’m wondering if we have more of a chance at getting off because we’re also accepted for the spring</p>

<p>I’m happy that I was accepted and everything, though starting in the spring is a bummer.</p>

<p>I know. I’m seriously considering doing the freshmen connection thing if I don’t get off the waitlist. I’m happy about it since its my first acceptance and I’ve seen some really good students at my school in the same spring acceptance and not waitlisted. It’s an odd thing. I’m excited to be accepted but sad it’s not all the way.</p>

<p>I live in Maryland and a lot of people at my school and nearby schools apply to UMD just because its the state school, so I’m sure a lot of people who were accepted for fall 2010 don’t plan on attending. Good luck!</p>

<p>My friend found a stat (I don’t know how reliable) that of 2500 people on the wait list, about 2300 people got in and around 1000 end up going. Does anyone know when we might hear about getting in for fall?</p>

<p>I haven’t seen this anywhere else, though</p>

<p>Do you have a link for that stat? Umd is my number 1, I was accepted into Fordham, penn state, and Uconn…but Umd is the best haha</p>

<p>That website is a few years outdated, though I hope the stats remain similar…</p>

<p>I hope so!! Thats really good!</p>

<p>UMD is my favorite… I applied to Penn State, Virginia Tech and Northeastern (none of which I’ve heard from, but I only applied within the last two weeks). But yeah UMD is pretty much perfect (at least to me). I’m glad I’m in at least for spring, but hopefully I have a chance for fall</p>

<p>yeah, I applied to northeastern as well. I was deferred in the early action pool. I don’t like it as much as maryland though</p>

<p>I was also accepted for the spring semester put on wait list for fall. I go to a public school in Maryland and out of the 75+ students who applied, around 5 got in for fall, 15 for spring and the rest were denied. AND, the students who were accepted for fall got well over a 2000 on the SATs. Does anyone know how the wait list works? Is it random, based on grades or what?</p>
