<p>Who else is on it?</p>
<p><em>raises hand</em>
I'm joining the waitlist party!</p>
<p>Ughh, I hope I still have some sort of chance. Midd was one of my top two. =(</p>
<p>Hey another one here...how do you stay on the waitlist though?? Just send a letter or email or do they send something by mail and you have to sign something???</p>
<p>This is starting to tick me off. I'm in FOUR WAITLISTS out of FOUR so far. I bet they plotted this together, as getting waitlisted multiple times is driving me way more insane than any rejection ever would. ARGH DEAR GOD STOP WAITLISTING ME, IT'S MADNESS.</p>
<p>Im waitlisted in 4 schools too? This is so odd..</p>
<p>Er... did you two apply to four top liberal arts colleges?
That could explain it.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted too... it sounded like there's very little chance of getting in off the WL? Is there much point in staying on it?</p>
<p>yeah, but getting waitlisted at all 4 is unusual. I wouldve expected acceptance/rejection. As far as I know, waitlisting this much is uncommon.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted at Middlebury, Bowdoin, Wesleyan, and Bates.</p>
<p>hi y'all i got waitlisted as well!</p>
<p>i've also been waitlisted at two other schools (Davidson and BC). However, i'm still waiting on my top choice, Notre Dame and even if i don't get in there, i think i'll accept admission at wash u in st. louis...so i'll probably give up my spot.</p>
<p>but i have heard a LOT of people getting waitlisted this year. do you all know if there was an increase in waitlisting or something?</p>
<p>best of luck you all! i hope you all end up somewhere you love!</p>
<p>Well, Miller, those are all rather "uber" schools.
'cept Bates, I'd be surprised by that one.</p>
<p>yeah i got waitlisted too :( UGh this is even worse then getting rejected...oh wait no it's not :D</p>
<p>one more waitlistee here...
my problem is that my "community" essay was completely a "why middlebury" essay...I was too lazy to write a new one after being defered from EDII...I hate myself so much now because midd is my dream college!</p>
<p>to all the waitlisted people:
do you think getting another letter from a teacher to support my application helpful?</p>
<p>I don't know, but I'm planning to get another from the Principal, hope that would help....
Midd is one of my top choices too, and I wonder how many ppl have been waitlisted? I sooo wanna go there</p>
<p>i was waitlisted too! This is m y 5TH WAITLIST !!! (and you thought 4 was a lot)... it is getting a tad ridiculous</p>
<p>anyone know how many were waistlisted?</p>
<p>for each of the the last few years, Midd has offered approx. 1200 people spots on the waitlist, and approx. 600+ have accepted a position on the wait list...last year they took exactly 0 people from the waitlist....but in prior years, sometimes 50-70....however, here is why this year we're screwed: it's the largest applicant pool yet, and the trickle down effect of all of those not getting into the Ivies and that use Midd and LACs as their next level of options will matriculate at Midd....those for whom Midd is our first choice are basically SCREWED this year, I fear......you can look all this up on the MIddlebury Common Data Sets</p>
<p>Actually, Midd accepted around 200 fewer students this year because they overenrolled last-year. I think the admissions office are actually planning to have a lower than adequate yield in order to safely shield themselves from a second year of overenrollment. They're probably planning to take at least a few from the waiting list. Don't worry, you guys have more hope than you think! good luck!</p>
<p>thanks, vermontkid, do you go to Midd? I will have hope, but seriously, the fact that they took ABSOLUTELY NO ONE from the waiting list last year is not very promising....</p>
<p>midd was my top and I too was waitlisted</p>
<p>I'm considering just accepting my spot in Northwestern's class and not pursuing. Aparently it's verging on impossible to get off this waitlist?</p>
<p>Oh shoo-
It sucks to be on the wait list, and I don't know if I should just give it up...
Ihatemylife, I love your name-it just how I feel right now :(</p>
