<p>Waitlist movement at Trinity College. My son received a phone call last Friday.</p>
<p>For the new season ...</p>
<p>It appears Caltech began calling waitlisted students on May 3rd.</p>
<p>A search of CC boards shows the following schools have had at least some waitlist movement: Duke, Washington U, Wesleyan, GWU, Emory, Pomona, Bryn Mawr, Nothwestern, Fordham, Occidental and Connecticut College. Tufts, apparently, is telling waitlisters who call that they will not be turning to their waitlist this year.</p>
<p>Again, these are just anecdotal reports from the discussion forums here and so should be viewed with some degree of caution.</p>
<p>Also anecdotal - kids or their guidance counselors are getting calls from Penn telling them that it is highly likely they will be taken off the waitlist.</p>
<p>MIT should be calling next week.</p>
<p>The waitlist WILL be used. However the number will be low.</p>
<p>I've heard reports that Tulane will not be accepting potential freshmen from the waitlist as their incoming class is very large. (A good thing considering the drop off last year).</p>
<p>Word is out that Amherst will probably not go to the waitlist.</p>

<p>D was contacted from UCLA. Appears be some movement there.</p>
<p>Yale is going to the waitlist.</p>
<p>Kid at local hs got called off the WL at Caltech and gave up his spot at Penn this week.</p>
<p>In today's Washington Post, there is a report that Virginia Tech will not be going to the wait list this year. 200 more students than expected sent in deposits.</p>
<p>MIT today offered admission to 20 students on the waitlist.</p>
<p>The Harvard Crimson reports that the school will be offering admission to about 30 students on the waitlist.</p>
<p>does anyone know how the waitlist process works? Does the school still self-select from the list - or is there some kind of order for admission?</p>
<p>Different schools use ranked and unranked wait lists. Often it's a compromise between bringing off the strongest students and meeting enrollment targets that didn't quite get met (gender balance, IS/OOS, ALANA students, et al.)</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins offered a small number of spots from their waitlist.</p>
<p>People on the Oberlin waitlist have been contacted, some guy got in this week, he said so on the Facebook group.</p>
<p>Interesting: Harvard, MIT, JHU, Yale, Penn ...........going to the waitlist. Last year few to none off those waitlists. </p>
<p>This year, no waitlist admissions at Tufts, Amherst, Tulane!</p>
