<p>Does anyone know how many people Davidson put on the waiting list this year/ how many applicants decided to stay on it? Has anyone already heard back from the college and been offered a spot?</p>
<p>I don’t know the exact numbers, but I can tell you that if it’s anything like last year, you have a tremendously good chance of getting in off the wait-list, especially if you express lots of interest to the admissions office.</p>
<p>Good luck! Last year about fifty got in off the wait-list…which is most of the list, probably!</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind, some people stay in the wait-list category at multiple schools. Someone might get wait-listed at Harvard, Princeton, and Davidson…so when Harvard and Davidson both admit that person, where do they go? Tough competition, for sure. </p>
<p>Just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best! The wait is almost over!</p>
<p>Yes, my daughter was accepted at Davidson.</p>
<p>She was offered a spot from the waitling list?</p>
<p>Offers of admission to students on the waitlist don’t usually get made at schools until after the May 1 RD response deadline, when schools know whether they will have room for people on the waitlist–that is why it is important to accept an offer from a school that has accepted you before that deadline, thus creating a sort of domino effect. Based on posts on other threads, I believe ssmsmm was referring to an RD acceptance.</p>
