<p>hey hey hey! who's anxious to hear about Yale's waitlist?
whether they get to it or not? how many they are taking off? who's gotten THE phone call/letter/email??</p>
<p>anything and EVERYTHING about being waitlisted at Yale! </p>
<p>well. things are in motion right?
so as soon as anyone hears anything, this is the place to come.
i just wish no one phones yale and drops the bomb that "yale's not going to their waitlist this year". that would be tragic.</p>
<p>there seems to be hope for waitlistees, since the "admitted students facebook" (not facebook.com, but the actual yale students facebook) has dropped in membership to 1,081, and weren't they shooting for a class size of 1200? i could be wrong.</p>
<p>I don't know when they'll start making waitlist decisions, but apparently Harvard still hasn't started. I decided not to mail Harvard its waitlist reply card and save myself $0.8 of postage cost, and today I got an email from them telling me that I still have until May 7 (monday) to stay on the list if I reply by email...</p>
<p>Cornell is a great school.. beautiful campus. My son started there two years ago after not getting into Yale. Loves it there...... Too far for my daughter's liking. She is waiting for Yale waitlist!</p>
<p>my interpretation was that the 1081 refers to those that've signed in to use the admits site...i'm sure there's people who are matriculating who never bothered to go on admits.yale.edu (and don't know what they're missing out on... :P)
not to discourage those waitlisted, though. my hosts at bulldog days were saying that the yield would possibly be down this year due to the sucky weather at bulldog days (thus driving some of the indecisive people away)...so if anything, more possibility of going to the waitlist?</p>
<p>My S sent his decline card to Yale May 1st. His admission counselor called today, stating they had not rec'd his card and they wanted a tally so they could decide on waitlist status for others. Seems to be a bit of a rush to me, considering that was 4 mail days ago and we're in the middle of the country (what about west of here?), but hey, could be good news for the waitlistees!</p>
<p>I got in off the waitlist 3 hours ago!!!!! ahhhh!!! I'm SOO excited and thrilled! I cried:-) My admissions officer called me during Mother's Day dinner..what a great gift for my parents. woohoo!</p>
