I got waitlisted as well. From NJ. 3.5 UW, school doesn’t weight or rank. 1960 SAT. Was actually shocked I got waitlisted. Thought the SAT was plenty high. Also had 29ACT
The odds are 4 of 1820. That is 2 tenths of a percent.
@clarinetsad16 I never said that OPs odds of acceptance were strong. My question was why have some waitlisted and some rejected? What determines the difference ? He has other acceptances at other schools. I agree that he needs to be weighing and investigating his other options, but it is only February and doesn’t need to make any decisions just yet.
My son was waitlisted for computer engineering. He has a 29 ACT, 3.5 GPA and strong APs and ECs. He’s in Auburn and waiting on Virginia Tech. Good luck to you all.
