<p>does anyone know how long the waiting list is and best approach to get off it?</p>
<p>I got wait listed too…and it’s my first choice…I say stay in contact with the admissions people and they don’t tell you until middle of May</p>
<p>I just called the admissions office at Pitzer, they said that they haven’t chosen anyone off the wait list for the past 6-7 years :0
I’d say choose another college</p>
<p>You should definitely send your deposit into another college just so you aren’t left with nothing. There are rumors, though, that Pitzer is going to start being more active with their wait list. They accepted around 900 last year and around 260 decided to attend, and they only accepted around 600 this year… unless their yield rate rises significantly, I think they are anticipating using the wait list this year (making my educated guess)! Don’t mark my words, though!</p>
<p>Yeah I already accepted to UC Merced, but when I visited Pitzer I talked to one of the admission counselors and she told me the exact same thing! ^ hopefully they will go to the wait list this year! But all I can do is cross my fingers and hope! :)</p>
<p>So far did anyone have any news from pitzer regarding waitlist?</p>
<p>I heard of one person accepted off the waitlist today.</p>
<p>Really? Now I want to cry :’( :’( :’( I haven’t heard anything from them in weeks!</p>
<p>Rejected56, if you haven’t called Pitzer admissions recently, call today and ask. My friend’s daughter was told they are only taking a handful off the waitlist right now, but they may take a few more later. After all, some kids who got into Pitzer may get off the waitlist somewhere else and withdraw their commitment to Pitzer. A lot of shaking out goes on this month.</p>
<p>Thank you. I called them up and spoke to Santiago. He was really nice and told me that they already called a handful of students from the wait list, but they won’t know if more are being taken off until early next week. 
its okay I guess at this point I should have my hopes up anyways</p>
<p>They closed the wait list. :(</p>
