<p>When does Swarthmore generally make waitlist decisions?</p>

2

<p>I’m wondering this too…</p>

<p>Last year theviolethour, who got in from 5 of 7 colleges’ WL’s, was accepted on 5/12</p>

<p>A total of 8 were taken from WL per CDS.</p>

<p>Still nothing??</p>

5

<p>they just sent me an email today.
I got in.</p>

<p>They’ll probably be calling/emailing the applicants this week</p>

6

<p>Congratulations!</p>

7

<p>Congrats! Mind if I ask what you did to show interest after being waitlisted? I still haven’t heard anything yet, but I don’t know if that means anything.</p>

8

<p>Thank you, so much! I can’t believe this is happening! haha</p>

<p>I’m an international student, so basically I just sent them an email talking about my motivations to study abroad and why swarthmore is a college that definitely fits my interests. My words were reaaally from the botton of my heart so I think they really considered that I was being sincere.</p>

<p>I do think you still have a chance, even though I have no idea how many people they’ll be accepting this year… I know how hard it is, but I think the only thing you can do is wait.</p>

<p>Congratulations Heitorsantos!! I am still anxiously waiting…</p>

<p>I was admitted off of the waitlist yesterday but I found out today. My regional adcom didn’t have my cell phone number (I go to a boarding school), so he emailed my guidance counselor that I got in. I wish everyone else good luck! I know the wait is awful.</p>

11

<p>Does Swat usually notify all their waitlist acceptees at once, or is it staggered throughout the spring/summer?</p>

<p>Congrats, ihatebacon!</p>

12

<p>@ihatebacon - are you going to go to Swat? Uchicago uchicago swat?</p>

13

<p>Yes, I’m going.</p>

14

<p>Congrats ihatebacon! what did you do to show your interest?
Should I abandon my hope now? o.O</p>

15

<p>Would calling the office to ask my result at this point be a bad thing?</p>

16

<p>They will let you know. It may not be such a bad thing to call and ask when you should expect to hear back and how likely it is that they will continue to admit from the waiting list. Until you receive a final letter or email, it is unlikely that they even know what they are doing!</p>

<p>Thanks lexieam…</p>

<p>Got an email notifying me that there is no room at the moment. I think I’m gonna request to be taken off the waitlist</p>
