<p>All schools tell you to go ahead and make a deposit elsewhere if you are waitlisted. Its common sense. Some kids accept an offer off of the waitlist, other kids have moved on emotionally or intellectually or even financially. Schools know this.</p>
<p>I got a call on Friday as well, but the lady I talked to did not give me a 1pm deadline. She said to "touch base" on Monday (today) so I could either say yes or say that I need more time. I'm almost positive that I am not accepting, though, so I'm freeing up another spot as well.</p>
<p>FYI, I did not contact them or anything after getting waitlisted. I didn't send in more stats or call, so I'm not sure how much that will help when you're trying to get off the waitlist. In any case, I suppose it couldn't hurt.</p>
<p>In which departments are people rescinding offers</p>
<p>arts&sciences for me</p>
<p>A&S for me also.</p>
<p>Best of luck to both of you at PennState and where ever chisox is going. You will know in your heart of hearts where you want to be and where you have the best opportunity to shine and succeed.</p>
<p>was anyone who was waitlisted for engineering heard yet.</p>
<p>i just called for engineering
they told me they did not know
cooper union is not selecting waitlist members so i guess i'll hope to get off that damn waitlist</p>
<p>Question, when you do the application you have the option of ranking the schools that you would like to be considered for. Do they waitlist you for all the schools you ranked, or just the one you ranked 1st? Anyone from Olin heard yet?</p>
<p>so you called and college of engineering does mnot have a waitlist opr they have not looked to it yet</p>
<p>Friday callee's were to reply by Mon. Anyone new get called today?</p>
<p>My son got the phone call yesterday (Mon) and was given until 4pm CT today to notify WUSTL if he was accepting their offer of admission to the Engineering school.</p>
<p>He turned them down this afternoon, so there is a spot available for those of you still hoping to get in. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks, david - can you tell us what school/major he was in for? Congrats on wherever he's going. Must be a great choice!</p>
<p>i got a call about an hour ago saying i got off the waitlist and i have until 4pm tomorrow to respond. im most likely not going so theres another open spot for all of you... and i was in arts and sciences. good luck!</p>
<p>My D just got the same phonecall offer this afternoon - A&S - told to decide by noon tomorrow. It had been a first choice but she may have moved on since putting her deposit in for Pomona. She'll decide by tomorrow...</p>
<p>yeah i got a call. declined request</p>
<p>Has anyone here actually accepted admissions if given a spot off the wait list yet? Not that I'm complaining, I'm hoping to get one of those spots!</p>
<p>I'm in the exact same situation. I really liked it when I visited, but I'm getting a great deal from U Wisconsin Madison and it would take a lot to convince me not to go there.</p>
<p>i just got the call this afternoon. i sent in the deposit to vanderbilt. i am 90% sure i'm taking the spot at wash u. i am sooo excited! i have till tomorrow afternoon to respond</p>
<p>just curious...
For those who have received a waitlist call, and are being asked to respond in a day, have they given you any idea of financial aid? Or, are all waitlisted students expected to be full pay?</p>
