waiting list?

<p>this might not be the best place to post this, but would anyone happen to have info on the waiting list situation?</p>

<p>I just got a phone call from an Admissions counselor who told me I was accepted off the waiting list. I was really surprised by the call but I'm probably going. (Unless I got off the Providence waiting list which is unlikely). The letter that wait listed applicants at Wheaton got said not to call with questions, but you can probably email them about how many students will be taken off the list, etc. When I called back, she said I have to have the $300 deposit by Friday, May 12th. If you haven't already, write them a letter say how much you want to go or why you think you would be a good match for Wheaton, etc. If you have any other guestions, post them and I'll do my best to answer.</p>

<p>yikes, scary. were you accepted for the fall or spring term?
and if you don't mind me asking, did you have financial need / what were your stats?</p>

<p>right now i'm not the craziest about where i put my deposit in (stonehill, next door) and i wrote them a letter about how your views on schools change once you get accepted, and how i wanted to start parliamentary debate at wheaton.</p>

<p>and i called them once. whoops.</p>

<p>i felt as though my chances were good but i dont know.</p>

<p>just got in, gotta let them know by next week :) super happy.</p>

<p>were the people accepted off the waitlist in for september or spring term?</p>

<p>i got in for the fall / september term, and i was really surprised / happy about that. they say that if you're let in off the wait list you're most likely going to be for january.</p>

<p>did you decide between simmons and wheaton? i see you everywhere on the college discussion world of the internet, paris87. (here and livejournal) :) tehhe</p>

<p>Well I decided on wheaton up until today... haha</p>

<p>Today i got a call from mount holyoke and I was accepted off the wait list! So I'm going to mhc now. this college process is sooo confusing/unpredictable! But i'm happy with how things ended up!</p>

<p>i can relate. for me it was 2 deposits at stonehill and simmons and went back and forth between the two, until i got a call from wheaton. happy with it though.</p>
