<p>Unfortunately I was waitlisted at Bates, one of my top choices. I was originally going to do ED, but then didn’t for financial reasons. :(</p>
<p>I’m pretty crushed and deciding whether or not to even accept a place on the waitlist. Do they accept many kids from the waitlist and if I miraculously am accepted will I get crappy FA? I need a pretty decent amount of FA. </p>
<p>I really thought my common app essay and bates supplemental essay might get me in. They showed a lot of passion, but I guess not. :(</p>
