<p>My friend told me he was accepted off of the waiting list yesterday. Anyone else?</p>
<p>um do you know his stats like SAT score gpa</p>
<p>and what did he do during the waitlist period?</p>
<p>How can they start to take people off the wait list when all those accepted have until May1 to reply?</p>
<p>WaitingDad, some schools are starting early this year after early looks at their yields, based on responses. I can’t say that it’s the case for Lehigh, but WUSTL has definitely already gone to their waitlist.</p>
<p>Because of the change in the financial sector, many students have applied to colleges they can no longer afford; their FAFSA/CSS Profile may no longer be realistic. Universities may end up scrambling to acquire enough full-freight students to balance the books.</p>
<p>Universities are probably looking at their top waitlist candidates as we speak, and may even be looking more closely at the no-aid candidates.</p>
<p>NEGATIVE NEGATIVE NEGATIVE on my first statement. There was some confusion on the portal.
Apparently he logged in on Monday, and the “Congratulations” video popped up and was playing. But he logged in yesterday and there was nothing and the decision box is still blank. He called admissions and they said the decisions were not posted yet. Maybe a good sign, or maybe just a bad glitch, I don’t know.</p>
<p>I just got a phone call from an admissions counselor</p>
<p>and i just got off the waitlist ! =)</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, Jassizzle, and CONGRATULATIONS!
Will you be attending?</p>
<p>Jasizzle, congratulations! This is exactly what you wanted. I couldn’t be happier for you.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone</p>
<p>i will def. be attending, its my dream school after all =]</p>
<p>I got off the waitlist on Friday…Lehigh 2013!</p>
<p>Congrats to all!</p>
<p>will they be letting anyone else know after this? and do they ever waitlist people as a “courtesy”? like “oh you weren’t good enough but you weren’t completely bad enough for you to be rejected”.
if so, is it likely for such a student to be accepted? i definitely showed interest during the waitlist period.</p>
<p>Collegeaspirant, I was speaking to a contact in Admissions on Friday and they will still be working off the waitlist all next week. Good Luck!</p>
<p>hey jassizzle what were your stats and what did you in the waitlist period? i wrote them a letter/essay about why i really wanted to go and sent it out yesterday afternoon.</p>
<p>does anyone know if they’ve started to go down the waitlist? i got accepted to wake forest today, but they gave me 24 hours to respond and if i got into lehigh i would much rather go because of financial reasons and travel.</p>
<p>You can always call admissions and ask . . .</p>
<p>airlaunch, my friend is also still waiting on Lehigh. He called Friday and at first they said they called everyone on the waitlist, but then they looked up something on the computer and there were still people on the waitlist. So I dunno.</p>
<p>i called them and they told me they pretty much filled up their business school spots (off the waitlist), and that they’ll be formally closing the waitlist in the last week of may. but you never know what’ll happen, someone may pull out at the list minute. im definitely not going to lehigh business over penn state but good luck to the rest of you :)</p>
