<p>Who feels disappointed about being waitlisted? It seems like many of us were waitlisted. Anyone know how many people are waitlisted from past years?</p>
<p>Definitely feeling the gloom here as well, but what is more depressing to me is that I was apparently only offered a place on the regular waitlist, not the priority one. Can anyone shed some light on this? Have they had this in years before, and am I utterly doomed to be accepted off of the normal waitlist?</p>
<p>I got waitlisted. I think there’s only one waitlist… I also got rejected from Duke. Fun day..</p>
<p>sorry, there’s two waitlists. one is priority one is the regular waitlist. not sure how many are on the priority though.</p>
<p>Sooo… Anyone planning to write a letter to Rice or anything? :O</p>
<p>My problem is that I really can’t say that Rice is my #1 choice- I have never visited, so I honestly don’t KNOW. My plan was to get accepted then visit to see if I like it enough to go there. We can see how well that plan worked lol. </p>
<p>So I’m not really sure what I would say? Should I go there anyway (note location)? That seems kind of masochistic. I already had an alumni interview, so . . . </p>
<p>What exactly should I do?</p>
<p>does anyone know someone who was waitlisted and got in? if so, was there a special way?</p>
<p>I’ll post this here, in case you missed it on the other thread..
</p>
<p>I just got waitlisted as well…I’ve never heard of the two waitlists though. How do you know which one you’re on?</p>
<p>on the application status online, it says either waitlist or priority waitlist</p>
<p>I was admitted off the (regular) waitlist two years ago. It’s actually kind of nice to get a personal call from the admissions counselor. As for what you can do to help you get accepted, I wouldn’t be the one to ask. I didn’t do anything aside from replying positively to an e-mail they sent me (in April, I think).</p>
<p>i wasn’t too disappointed to be on the waitlist. More like a slap to my ego.
lol.</p>
<p>I was taken off the waitlist two years ago, as well. That call from Amy Atcheson was pretty sweet.</p>
<p>Being waitlisted is fine! Some of my closest friends were waitlisted…</p>
<p>I’m waitlisted at Rice and getting the feeling I will be rejected at all the remaining schools. I am lucky that I’m accepted at UCLA.</p>
<p>Dorian_Mode, what email are you talking about? I have recently participated in some spring extracurriculars and have won some awards not mentioned on my college application…should I email them and notify them to add that to my app? Also, I’ve tried searching for which waitlist I’m on, but I don’t know where it is. Can anyone help?</p>
<p>It was simply an e-mail asking if I was still interested in Rice. I honestly did nothing else.</p>
<p>katia11, I am in the same exact situation.
I know Rice is high on my list, and I was hoping to visit after getting accepted… and it’s even more aggravating that I’m getting waitlisted EVERYWHERE! well, I have the UCs to fall back on.
But I don’t know whether to visit, or even if that would be easy to arrange.</p>
<p>I don’t think my decision said anything about priority or regular waitlist. The e-mail did say I was an “alternate,” though. Does that indicate which waitlist I’m on?</p>
<p>if it said “Candidate offered position on waitlist” on your application status, you’re on the regular waitlist. If it said “Candidate offered position on priority waitlist”, you’re on the priority waitlist</p>
<p>All I know is that the priority only have 24 hours to respond. However, I’ve been chatting with the admissions office. I was told that being waitlisted wasn’t the end of the road.</p>
