Waitlist buzz

Applying to College

<p>Has anyone heard of any movement in waitlists yet?</p>

<p>According to a blog posted by one of the schools my son is WL at, they expect to have 50 places open up on Thursday and will make 50 calls on that day.</p>

<p>BTW, the current list is still at 641 still waiting.</p>

<p>Rice and Duke have already started going to their waitlists within the last few days. I’m sure other colleges have too. Some will probably wait until a few days past May 1st.</p>

3

<p>Really? Can you tell me in more detail? I also got waitlisted at Duke, so this makes me nervous. and how do they let ppl know? by email or by letter?</p>

<p>My son’s friend got accepted yesterday off of the waitlist at a small LAC in the northeast.</p>

<p>Would you mind posting the name of the college?</p>

<p>Providence College is supposed to start calling tomorrow.</p>

6

<p>i mean, how? how are they going to contact?</p>

7

<p>They will likely call.</p>

<p>I do know that they need an answer quickly.</p>

8

<p>calling? lol. I live in dorm so i dont have a chance to get all the calls from them.</p>

<p>Ya, I think most schools will call you. Duke started calling a few days ago. I’m sure they would find a way to contact you if you live in a dorm. Don’t worry, if they accept you off the waitlist, they will make sure you know.</p>

<p>Ooooh. I’m hoping that Smith starts to call soon. My mom would appreciate not losing a $300 deposit (that is, if Smith is awesome). =)</p>

<p>My son got the call 2 hours ago, he was accepted off the waitlist at Providence College and is literally BEAMING!</p>

<p>Congrats…some may have submitted deposits to their 2nd or safety. I guess the colleges are use to some changing to a waitlist school if they are higher ranked, like the Ivies. I guess you loose the deposit as well.</p>

<p>wntjd168: If you aren’t easily reachable via telephone, don’t sweat it. They’ll contact your school or email you. Really – if you’re chosen, they will track you down. Relax.</p>

14

<p>Good luck everybody! I’m hoping to hear from one of the schools I was WL’d at.</p>

15

<p>any waitlist news…?</p>

16

<p>Waiting for waitlist news for son. He would be very pleased with an acceptance…but I hope that he will be at peace with his alternative, just in case! He has support from the athletics folk though…so I’m hoping he will get a chance to choose. I’m sure it will be soon one way or the other…Hard to wait for resolution for him. It’s been a long haul.</p>

17

<p>thanks. I guess I was way too freaked out!</p>

18

<p>Anyone accepted off the waitlist from USF or LMU?</p>
