<p>D was waitlisted at Williams yesterday.
She was previously accepted EA at Yale.
Since Yale was far and away her 1st choice, in late December she withdrew her other applications, including Williams, via letters and/or emails to the various admissions offices, also advising them of her college selection.
Why then would Williams send her a waitlist letter?
Am I overthinking this?</p>
<p>S sent his Stanford app in December, as it was due on the very day H's EA decisions were due. As soon as he heard from H, he wrote to Stanford to withdraw his app. Then in early March, he got a card from Stanford acknowledging his app (but not its withdrawal). He's since sent another email. Since he has not heard from Stanford yesterday, I assume that the message has finally gotten through. I guess the pressure of handling so many apps leads to lack of coordination.</p>
<p>UMDAD,</p>
<p>Unless she is starting to have doubts about Yale or the sicker price is a real eye opener, ya might be overthinking it just a little. </p>
<p>If her application was incomplete (it probably was since she most likely did not send in mid-year reports), she may have been sent a waitlist as a precaution so there won't be any flack about not being able to fully evaluate the candidate. That is what happen to my friend's son last year when he got accepted Tulane EA and decided not to finish his Emory application . Congrats on the offical Yale acceptance.</p>
<p>Yes, but remember you are sending them $70 (if I remember correctly) to help them deal with the paperwork.</p>

She is having no doubts about Y.
I think you probably hit it on the head.</p>
<p>You are overthinking it. It could be that they messed up their paperwork (wouldn't be the first time.) Or it could be that it felt good to them to waitlist someone who got into Yale EA (think what it does for their statisticss ;)!).</p>
