<p>Wow… I feel like I stole your place for jhu…;;
Im sure you’ll get into one of the ivys tho.</p>
<p>You may be interested in today’s article in The Daily Beast about how to get selected off of waitlists.

<p>everyone sounds to be in the same boat. i was waitlisted at 3 schools–all out east. Lehigh, Villanova, and Holy Cross. I’m going to put my stuff down for another school , but if i somehow get in off the waiting list at one of those schools i’ll probally end up going.</p>
<p>wow this seems to be happening to everyone…i browsed through some of last year’s stuff, and i don’t think this many people were waitlisted…</p>
<p>i got waitlisted at harvard, cornell, columbia, anddd dartmouth. so that brings my total to seven. weirdddd.</p>
<p>^DAMN all of them?!</p>
<p>I’ve got 4 waitlists, and I thought four was a lot…</p>
<p>Where can we get info on waitlists and stuff?</p>
<p>yeah all of em 
it was really weird, because i would think that a waitlist at a school like harvard of darmouth would mean an acceptance at jhu or rice, but i guess not…</p>
<p>the link that inquisitivemom posted is pretty helpful…here are a few others that i found</p>

<p>but i’m wondering if we can get stats on how many people are placed on the waitlist? i have a suspicion that there are a TON more this year because of all the uncertainty…</p>
<p>If you go the common data set of each school you can see what each has historically picked up from the Waitlist. It may or may not apply to this year.</p>
<p>Waitlisted: Duke (NC), Colgate (NY), Washington U (MO), Georgetown (DC)</p>
<p>URGHH</p>
<p>FOUR waitlists == Not Cool</p>
<p>waitlisted to duke, rice, and princeton, but accepted to JHU</p>
<p>I thought rice and duke would be easier then JHU and I spent A LOT more time and effort on those apps…but who knows…I got duke and rice first and that was heartbreaking thinking i would be rejected everywhere else…but I guess you never know</p>
<p>and ya i heard that their expecting to accept more people off the waitlist this year, but beware thats still a low percentage of students</p>
<p>I think I win…Nine waitlists.</p>
<p>it was pretty painful.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s tough. But, consider that some of that pain was self-inflicted.</p>
<p>So any progress in getting off the waitlists?</p>
