<p>My friend was waitlisted at University of Rochester but she got accepted into Eastman the music school. Her test scores were high, she did many extracurriculars, took hard classes, and such. It is just unbelievable that she didn't get in. </p>
<p>Anyone know why she got wailisted and the chances of a spot actually opening up? </p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>An acceptance to Eastman is not an acceptance to UR?</p>
<p>Nope–two different admission committees, two different campuses.</p>
<p>If she is interested in be admitted from the waitlist, she should be proactive in contacting her counselor. As a student that was admitted to ESM, she may be more likely to be admitted from the waitlist, though admits from the waitlist are not common.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for the info 
I will be sure to tell her that</p>
