<p>Does anybody know anything about the wait list - what the yield rate was so far compared to other years, and how many kids accepted a place on the wait list? What does everybody think our chances are?</p>
<p>i'm also on the waitling list...it's a bummer isn't it? anyways, i heard they were accepting more people off the list this year than in previous years but i still don't think our chances are stellar :( if there was anything i could do to get into this school, i would do it.</p>
<p>Who'd you hear that preview from? I feel like I should be doing more, my friend is also on the waitlist and he calls daily.</p>
<p>10 people were accepted off the waitlist last year. I have no idea what it'll be like this year.</p>
<p>I thought no one got off the waitlist last year, b/c a few friends of mine got the waitlist statistics, and I thought they said no one got off last yr</p>
<p>Two people from my HS got in off the waitlist last year. So I am fairly certain that people did indeed get accepted from it.</p>
<p>Wow. 2 people from the <em>same</em> HS got off out of a total of 10 people? Cool.</p>
<p>but 2 people both werent from the college right?</p>
<p>Not to shatter any dreams, but I don't think the chances of getting in off the waitlist are very good at all. With the success of the basketball team at the end of the season and especially in the tournament, everyone excepts matriculation to go up. Since acceptances were finalized before the end of March Madness, the committee wouldn't know to accept fewer people. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what a lot of people here think. Good luck to you anyway and I hope you're happy wherever you end up. You can always transfer if you don't like it.</p>
<p>...they still lost in march madness. why wouldnt people choose ohio state over georgetown then?</p>
<p>I'm not sure it's due to the basketball team, but it seems that getting off the waitlist will be difficult this year. My advice to my son was to put a deposit down on Choice #2 and get enthusiastic about that school.</p>
<p>i heard that kids who are accepted off of the waitlist start hearing by may 10th, is there any truth to this?</p>
<p>I've heard after May 15th.</p>
<p>where did yall here these dates from?</p>
<p>i know there's like no chance, but i can't help but hope ( :
good luck to everyone in the same position as me!~</p>
