waiting list

<p>Was anyone else here put on the waiting list? Do you plan to send any more information at this point?</p>

<p>would sending more information really help? aren't they already ranked in an order to be accepted if there's extra room?</p>

<p>Nope..."the list is not currently ranked," said the letter.</p>

<p>Can we do something to increase our chances once we've been waitlisted</p>

<p>Eliminate the admittees ;-) jk</p>

<p>Yeah
that's the most efficient way of getting accepted :)</p>

<p>Id rather be waitlisted than rejected even though it sorta kinda really means the same thing... -_-a</p>

<p>Wont it be fun if all acceptees die of schock on recieving their packages??</p>

<p>:p</p>

<p>lol, surely waitlisted people have proven they are much more creative than those accepted, especially in Satan's preferences :D</p>

<p>i don't know what to do.</p>

<p>do we even have any chance of getting in?</p>

<p>You must all applaud me. I've already lost my little card im sposed to send in. If April rolls around and I havent gotten in anywhere, I guess I'll call MIT for another one.</p>

<p>haha...I was thinking of putting "take me off the wait list, I'm going to stanford"...but I don't know if I want to go to stanford yet...so I can't do anything with that little card</p>

<p>I'm confused, you guys. Will they let us know their final decision before May 1st? They have to, right, cuz if they didn't they'd lose their waiting list--everyone would have signed contracts with other colleges. If they let us know post-May 1st, then there's really no point in staying on the waiting list, is there...</p>

<p>lets hire an assasin to bump of the acceptees....i'll throw in 100 bucks for that...anyone interested ahaahah</p>

<p>dont worry....we love you guys who got in...good job :) you deserve it</p>

<p>can someone please answer Someone's question: I'm confused, you guys. Will they let us know their final decision before May 1st?

<p>Its post May 1st, you don't lose your contract, you just probably will lose your $n00 where n is a digit that makes $n00 a considerable sum of money.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many have been accepted off the waiting list in recent years? It says anywhere from 1 to 150 on the letter, but I don't know if that's in the entire history of the institution or what.</p>

<p>sabertoothtiger, this thread has all the details:
