Waitlist Chances?

<p>I havent been able to find good information on Scripps' waitlist. Anyone have experience with it? Quite disappointed with the decision, of course. Cheers!</p>

<p>According to the 2012-13 Common Data set, Scripps received 2373 apps last year, offered admission to 769, and waitlisted 499. Of those offered waitlist, 201 stayed on, and 55 of the 201 were eventually accepted. Those aren’t horrible odds as waitlists go, but these things can change a lot from year to year, especially at small colleges. Good luck to you wherever you end up!</p>

<p>My daughter really wants to go to Scripps and accepted to be on their wait list. Surprisingly, she was wait-listed at both Scripps and Wellesley (the only 2 women’s colleges to which she applied) while being accepted at most of the other colleges to which she applied.</p>

<p>The wait list stats for last year (2012-13) are good but the previous 6 years are not so good, including accepting 0 from the wait list in 3 of those years. Here are the stats:</p>

<p>2012-13: Accepted 55 of 201 who chose to be on wait list.
2011-12: Accepted 0 of 196 who chose to be on wait list.
2010-11: Accepted 8 of 139 who chose to be on wait list.
2009-10: Accepted 26 of 164 who chose to be on wait list.
2008-09: Accepted 0 of 176 who chose to be on wait list.
2007-08: Accepted 0 of 201 who chose to be on wait list.</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you on the waitlist and let’s hope that the stats from 2012-13 repeat.</p>

<p>Question about wait list to anyone who might have info from an admissions perspective. Is it ok, or advisable to let the wait listed schools know about the other schools you have been admitted to especially if they are equal or higher ranked schools? Or would this indicate that you’ve been accepted somewhere else so they’ll pass on you.</p>

<p>I too am waitlisted at Wellesley and Scripps (the only 2 all women’s colleges I applied to). Hopefully, the odds of getting accepted from the waitlist will be as good as last year’s.</p>
