Hi, I haven’t seen anyone post anything yet about Vassar waitlist. I was waitlisted, and was wondering when these decisions should be released?
My daughter was called today (May 2, Saturday) from someone in Admissions, she is accepted off the waitlist. She now has to decide whether to accept.
@jugetyjig , congrats! did she get an email recently asking her for a response by may 1st on whether she was still interested on being on the waitlist?
I got that email, I’m relatively sure it’s standard but I’m not sure.
any movement?
Not sure about the email from Vassar, but I know she did get some emails from other colleges where she was waitlisted, asking if she wanted to stay on the list. She decided only to stay on the waitlists for Vassar and Berkeley. She had emailed Vassar admissions after she found out she was waitlisted and told them she was still very interested in going there.
thanks for the info jugetyjig! i hope she gets off ucb’s waitlist. i see they are going to the waitlist soon.
my daughter was pretty sad when she was waitlisted at vassar. she didn’t want to think about it and didn’t feel ready to get her hopes up again. once she saw the waitlist email she livened up and seemed really happy. i’m just afraid it will end in disappointment : (
i haven’t fleshed this out but doesn’t the whole waitlist process seem like a huge game of white elephant?
to what schools are you committed? my daughter has committed to uci and is waitlisted at vassar and colby.
I committed to MHC and am still on the waitlist for Wellesley
@kjn477 all great schools!
i saw this on the waitlist faq:
An applicant’s financial need may be taken into consideration if the college utilizes the waitlist.
it seems to suggest a student who has need will be moved lower on the list. i don’t think it means her chances are better for having need.
if anyone is interested here are the class of 2024 stats.

I just got off the waitlist!
Congrats that’s amazing!
I’m curious, did you receive an email recently checking to see if you were still on the waitlist?
@nothisisacrayon awesome news!
I did, though I think that that email may have been sent to everyone. I got an email from an admissions counselor asking for my number and availability this morning though. Best of luck! Everything will work out in the end :))
@nothisisacrayon sorry to bother. where are you from and did you get aid?
im from LA and I said I didnt need aid anymore when i sent in my LOCI
thanks! @nothisisacrayon we are from orange county and we need aid.
hopefully there is another ripple tomorrow.
Im from Ireland and slightly worries about international applicants, hopefully that won’t affect anything
