<p>i've accepted upenn wharton and was also admitted to brown and yale. i was waitlisted to princeton and i stayed on the waitlist. i haven't heard anything though, which i thought was weird. aren't they supposed to reject you from the waitlist or put you on an extended waitlist?</p>
<p>okay thanks. 39 views and nothing. it doesn’t matter though i’m just going to remove my name from the waitlist. i wouldn’t choose princeton over yale, so i’m not gonna choose it over upenn wharton.</p>
<p>If you had no intention of attending ("i wouldn’t choose princeton over yale, so i’m not gonna choose it over upenn wharton. "), why did you go on the waitlist and why did you get all ****y when no one responded to you? There’s a name for what you did – it’s called “trophy collecting” and no one respects it.</p>
<p>i dont think they tell you if you never get off the waitlist. but yeah, whyd you stay on?</p>
<p>i figured since i paid $70, i might as well stay on (a lot of ppl do that. that’s why they over accept from waitlists). but anyway, it’s stupid since i’m like 100% sure i would not go, so i’m removing my name. i would feel really guilty to hold up the process for anyone who wanted to get in.</p>
<p>Did you not even read the waitlist letter? It said they will take people off until June 30. Obviously your rejection will come after that date. And yeah you’re a selfish ***** for staying on the waitlist at a school that you would “never” attend! Removing yourself this late in the game really won’t help any of us. And sorry I’m never this rude, it’s just that people like you really **** me off.</p>
<p>yeah, this is fairly idiotic. i still don’t see the logic behind staying on in the first place-- when you claim you would have never considered it as an option. dubious thought process for someone with a few nice acceptances…makes one wonder…</p>
<p>if you haven’t already, get off.</p>
<p>Agreed. The idea is that if A is your first choice school and you got waitlisted, then yes, go on that waitlist. But if A accepted you, and B & C waitlisted you but they were your second or third or tenth choices – why on earth accept a place on their waitlists? Again, the only answer is to “collect trophies.” Instead of being able to say, “I got waitlisted at Princeton,” even if you never wanted to go there, you can run around saying, “I got into Princeton, but I turned them down – ha ha!” And if someone thinks that paying a $70 app fee gives them permission to be obnoxious like that, well, they were probably obnoxious before they paid the money.</p>
<p>I trust we all misunderstand your sporting effort to remain on a wait-list at a school you will never attend. If not, as a Yalie, I am horrified to say that a person of your judgement and character was accepted to Yale.</p>
<p>wow guys chill. i’m so glad i checked back. when i first put my name on the waitlist, i didn’t know i wouldn’t go, but upon lots of reflection, i realized that i would have gone to yale over princeton but that i chose upenn wharton over yale, so i wanted to find out if the list wasn’t dead or terminated so that that i could remove my name. i never ruled out princeton initially when i put my name on the waitlist. but anyway, i took my name off when i realized that i wouldn’t go, even though it was a late realization (sorry for that). so that’s all, guys. good luck and godspeed</p>
<p>Friend just got THE CALL this morning from Princeton and is in off the wait list, and now will be withdrawing from another ivy to attend. So if you haven’t gotten a final rejection yet, that means that you have not yet been rejected.</p>
<p>And here’s my message for nychica – get off the wait list and now. I too got several wait list offers, including one to my first-choice school. I immediately emailed all my wait-list schools except for my first-choice, specifically to remove my name from consideration so that those who truly wanted to attend could receive priority consideration. This was not because I am some d0-gooder; it was because of simple manners, decency, and best wishes for my fellow applicants to the class of 2013, no matter where they are headed.</p>
<p>Shame on you. And don’t be too quick to absolve yourself of all wrongdoing with that old excuse, “lots of people do this.” I tend to think otherwise.</p>
