Waitlist class of 2016!

<p>For all of us sorta-adequate applicants! </p>

<p>Just to keep track of the process of being on the waitlist and trying to get off if that’s what you want.</p>

<p>woooohooo haha</p>

<p>yay :expressionless: 10char</p>

<p>Yay. Second wait list (for my favorite schools) in 2 days. Hopefully MoHo will have good news tomorrow…
Anyone else here apply?</p>

<p>Sorry, Penguin. :frowning: I also applied to MoHo! So we’ll see how that goes ~</p>

<p>rejected from wellesley yesterday and waitlist at bryn mawr today, hopefully bryn mawr changes their mind…</p>

<p>does anyone ever get waitlisted at BMC but accepted at Hford?</p>

<p>Wait listed :(</p>

<p>haha i’m in the same boat T_T;;</p>

<p>It’s okay! A lot of us are! </p>

<p>My mother is texting me to tell me how clearly I haven’t worked hard enough and this is the consequence and how it’s all my fault. Thanks, Mum.</p>

wow…</p>

<p>Do you think that the waitlists might move faster this year, since it seems like more people than before are applying to private colleges? Or is that wistful thinking?</p>

<p>Unfortunately, no. For example, last year, neither Smith nor Mt. Holyoke took ANYBODY off their wait lists, BMC very few. And looking at the stats of those waitlisted, the overall competition has to be tougher than ever. Hang in there and best of luck to all.</p>

<p>So BMC wasn’t my first choice, but I did show a lot of interest and even visited overnight. It’s really disappointing, considering everything I do:</p>

<p>2090 SAT
31 ACT
Year-round athlete (cross country, indoor track, outdoor track)
This year: 4 AP classes, 1 Honors class, 1 College Class (chosen from the top 10 in my class)
GPA well over a 4 (out of 4, weighted)
Club officer
Consistent community service
Commitment to dance classes (for 16 years).
My “Why BMC” was actually pretty decent, and full of conviction
Apparently my recommendations are “stellar” as well. </p>

<p>This is just…disappointing. I’m waiting on NYU, GWU, and Penn, but this situation is making me feel inadequate for these colleges. At least I have other colleges to consider as well.</p>

<p>waitlisted :confused: anyone mind sharing their stats?</p>

<p>3rd waitlisted so far…
Hoping for better luck =(</p>

<p>waitlisted
SAT: 2150 (660 CR, 790 WR, 700M) superscore: 2170
ACT: 32
GPA: W 4.1, UW 3.8
extra circs: NHS president, school orch 4 years, outside youth symphonies (2 years)… some sports… nothing stellar
essays: i thought were pretty good…
recs: one for sure great but not so sure about the other…</p>

<p>sad that i didn’t get in… but life goes on…</p>

<p>waitlisted, but I won’t be attending. Nevertheless, here are my stats:</p>

<p>29 ACT (33 English, 30 Reading, 28 Math, 24 Science)
~3.7 GPA
Strong recommendations
Creative Essays
Lots of EC’s but here’s a few:
-founder of non-profit theatre company
-with childrens theatre group since 2002
-head of stage crew at school
-editor of school lit mag
-playwriting internship
-Shakespeare Intensive Camp</p>

<p>Waitlisted! I was expecting a rejection, so I’m kind of relieved. Low GPA, 720 CR, 680 W, 530 M</p>

<p>waitlisted too! Anybody has idea when will BM give the decision? Kind of worried…</p>
