Waitlist

<p>My EFC was about 16,000 and I'm paying 10,000 for Amherst.</p>

<p>keep in mind that a good deal of the people enrolling at amherst probably sent in their response cards around may 1st. considering the admissions office isnt open on saturdays, and these names have to be manually entered into the computer, theres a good chance that many of these names are yet to be entered. there will probably be at least 20 students added to the database today. fyi the ideal class size they were aiming for is 440, but who knows they might try to make this year smaller as they had overenrollment problems last year. my prediction is that about 30 or so kids willl make it off the waitlist which is a ton for amherst.</p>

<p>As of today on my D's class website they are showing 412 as of this morning.</p>

<p>Ok, so probably about 30 of us will make it off the waitlist.</p>

<p>"As of today on my D's class website they are showing 412 as of this morning."</p>

<p>112+ students who don't use Facebook? Outrageous.</p>

<p>"My EFC was about 16,000 and I'm paying 10,000 for Amherst."</p>

<p>My family's EFC is 7,000, and we're going to have to pay 25,000 for Middlebury.</p>

<p>I really, really hope I get off that waitlist >_></p>

<p>man. i wanna know really bad. but i guess i will be patient a bit more</p>

<p>Yeah, it's weird that 112 of the 412 don't have a facebook.</p>

<p>maybe they just didn't join the group?</p>

<p>but i don't think there can be that many people who don't join...</p>

<p>Son just checked, and the class list is holding at 412. Maybe that's it now until waitlistees start to be added.</p>

<p>The waitlist letter indicates that Amherst will not consult the waitlist until May 10.</p>

<p>May 10, by the way, is a Saturday.</p>

<p>Guess they weren't thinking it through when they wrote the letter.</p>

<p>You're right kwu; that really sucks.</p>

<p>When do you think they'll inform you if you're been accepted?</p>

<p>It isn't weird that that many students havn't joined the facebook group! I hope more of my future classmates are cool enough not to have high school facebook. And many probably just don't like joining a thousand groups...I don't.</p>

<p>If i'm not mistaken, the admission office is open on Saturdays, so maybe they'll refer to the waitlist starting then.</p>

<p>i just got accepted off the waitlist!</p>

<p>congrats emily!!! So, I am assuming, you are going? :)</p>

<p>did you get a call today??!?!?</p>

<p>I got one but it went to the voice mail and they asked me to call back tomorrow morning. ahhh the suspense is killing me!!</p>

<p>very very likely, i'm just waiting on the financial aid. </p>

<p>tealover - i got my call at 4PM this afternoon, so i'm sure your call is good news too!</p>
