Waitlist 2016

<p>Chipbe - My son is a current freshman at Stanford. I heard that to accomodate all the incoming freshmen Stanford is converting one of the 4-class dorms in Flo Mo to an all freshman dorm. Stanford is very organized and efficient about this sort of thing. Not to worry. Welcome to Stanford!</p>

<p>Thanks, tahoepine. Glad to hear that perhaps this wasn’t totally unexpected. It certainly seems like a number of colleges have incredible yields this year (we were considering a number of them). So excited about Stanford.</p>

<p>Hello! </p>

<p>I was waitlisted at Stanford but they ‘are saddened that we cannot offer you admission’. </p>

<p>Anyway, I’m still interested in the number of students that were offered admission off the wailist (since it is the only university at which I got waitlisted that decided to use it - MIT and Princeton unfortunately did not). Could anyone tell me please?! </p>

<p>I know Mpen10 asked this question at the beginning of the thread but there are no responses yet and I can’t wait to find out.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Unless I’m mistaken, Stanford didn’t take anyone off of their Waitlist. In fact their yield resulted in about 80 more freshman than they had targeted.</p>

<p>I don’t think you are mistaken. I was confused by what they wrote in the letter - ‘We have confirmed there will be no further openings in our incoming class of 2016.’ I thought it meant they were not going to admit any MORE students from the waitlist, which is probably a wrong interpretation.</p>

<p>Thanks again! :)</p>
