<p>@bartlet</p>
<p>haha i'm doing the same thing for northwestern</p>
<p>pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee let me get off</p>
<p>Im waitlisted at university of san francisco....
anyone know anything about that?
i didnt think it was too ahrd to get into but noww.. i dont know. it was my first choice skool! so its either this or jc :( </p>
<p>does anyone know anyone thats been/on their waitlist?</p>
<p>THANKS</p>
<p>Okay, everyone-- I've sent a pretty unique letter of interest, new recommendations, and writing samples. What else can be done?! I don't want to go overboard but I want to do everything I can to get in.</p>
<p>Scratch what I said before- I know someone who claimed to get off the NYU (Tisch) waitlist last year, but it could've just been that he was full of crap.</p>
<p>I don't think there is anything as excruciatingly agonizing in the college admissions process as the waitlist.</p>
<p>My S has made his decision and will be turning down WashU and Duke (both mentioned here) so I hope that means good news for ahhhhhhh and TAdd.</p>
<p>I'm on the waitlist for Harvard. But I haven't done anything about it. It wasn't my top choice to begin with but would it be too late to do something now?</p>
<p>madbean, where is your son going? i'm on washu's waitlist i was just curious.</p>
<p>TAdd, you are so right. i hate waitlists - i'm on penn, brown, and washu waitlists. it's not fun agonizing over all of this.</p>
<p>Harvard and Duke here. Gotta be realistic about Harvard...I think I've got a snowball's chance in hell. </p>
<p>Duke is something I'm really really hoping for though. Best of luck to you, trackie, and all of the rest of you guys toughing it out.</p>
<p>trackie, my son is going to USC (Southern Cal)! Best of luck to you and all the waitlistees.</p>
<p>thanks, madbean. he'll have fun with that cali warmth!</p>
<p>lol im bumping this thread yet again. If anyone has gotten off of a school's waitlist or has even heard of anyone getting off, please post that story here, all of us would really like to hear it :)</p>
<p>I got rejected from Clemson, UGA, and Air Force Academy and waitlisted at Georgia Tech (which was probably the school I wanted to go most). Didn't even apply to a safety. Couple days ago I received an e-mail from Tech asking if I wanted to get off the waitlist by doing Summer Session :)</p>
<p>I was waitlisted at Grinnell and am doing my best to get off...My dad (who is an alumnus) received a courtesy call from the interim head of admissions who informed him of my being waitlisted, but said I am "high priority" or something. I've since been emailing with the interim head, have sent in a new essay/letter that speaks to why I want to attend, and a list of new accomplishments and activities since my application was mailed. I'm also not in need of financial aid...</p>
<p>Do you think I can get off the waitlist??? I really hope I can...If not, then I will be at Lewis & Clark next year (which I love, but I love Grinnell even more..)</p>
<p>Hi...im an international student who was waitlisted at Grinnell..Didnt i get the shock of my life when a few days ago, i received a phone call letting me know that i had succeed in getting off the list for the class of 2012...to top it all off, i got a full scholarship(my parents are smiling ear-to-ear)...a true miracle...compared to others, my SAT 1 & 2 scores are amazingly lower(barely above average). my school doesnt have the GPA system but compared to my class, im ranked pretty highly. I believe I had a wide range of ECs, notable leadership roles, mission statement type essays and probably strong recommendations..but the response from Grinnell still stuns me. I did send a convincing essay as to why they should accept me but i doubted it would be worth much before may 1st. how i did it? still stunned...goes to show that miracles(or if there is something more drastic) can happen... now i wanna find out whether Johns Hopkins intends to pull a similar stunt.... Good luck to you all... </p>
<p>"your work ethic and ability are not the only determinants in life...but so too your intention"</p>
<p>I'm waitlisted at MIT, Cornell, Columbia and Harvey Mudd. I would give up my spot on the other Waitlists if it meant I could go to MIT :(</p>
<p>Thanks for the news born.to.amaze.</p>
<p>And so, it begins...</p>
<p>Can someone please tell me if we have regional officers for international students? I'm on FIVE waitlists and am trying desperately to will myself off!</p>
<p>Congratulations to you both, OniLawliet and born.to.amaze. You were really born to amaze!!!</p>
<p>I was actually rejected at Grinnell, and have just received rejection letter. I live too far away from Grinnell!!!</p>
<p>i will bet $100 of monopoly money that born.to.amaze is a troll. read his post carefully. twice. </p>
