Waitlisted & the Statistical Chances of Getting In

<p>Bowdoin's waitlisted chances please</p>

<p>McGill and Barnard please!</p>

<p>Carleton College doesn't seem to have the Common Data Set Posted.
Here's a link to their Office of Institutional Research Staff: <a href="http://webapps.acs.carleton.edu/campus/ira/staff/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://webapps.acs.carleton.edu/campus/ira/staff/&lt;/a>
The only report they have posted, (on Need-Sensitive Admissions) is password protected. <a href="http://webapps.acs.carleton.edu/campus/ira/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://webapps.acs.carleton.edu/campus/ira/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The Class of 2008 Profile page has lots of info, but not Wait List Stats: <a href="http://www.carleton.edu/admissions/student_life/class_profile_2008.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.carleton.edu/admissions/student_life/class_profile_2008.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>US News for Fall 2003
Qualified applicants placed on waiting list: 272
Applicants accepting a place on waiting list: 272
Students enrolled from waiting list: 8
Total Class Size 488
2.9 % of Class came from the wait list</p>

<p>Considering that Lafayette College's President helped create the Common Data Set to help students and parents learn about Colleges, it is strange Lafayette dosen't have it easily accessable on their web site. (When I searched for "Common Data Set" on Lafayette's Web Site - This article came up - but no Common Data Set Links.)

President Rothkopf "initiated a dialog among officials of colleges and higher education associations and publishers, resulting in the development and adoption of a new survey instrument called the Common Data Set."

They do provide a Profile of Class of 2008 <a href="http://www.lafayette.edu/admissions/requirements.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.lafayette.edu/admissions/requirements.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Apparently they don't want to publish the Wait-List Stats.
You will need to Call Admissions and ask them what your chances are.
Good Luck</p>

<p>McGill University in Montreal, PQ does not have Common Data Set info Posted on the web, nor did they submit information to US News.
They do post a McGill Facts: <a href="http://www.mcgill.ca/facts2004-05/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.mcgill.ca/facts2004-05/&lt;/a>
that also has links to prior years McGill Facts, but it does not list Wait-List Info.
Call Admissions to find out your chances.
Good Luck</p>

<p>Vassar? please</p>

<p>Barnard College posts their Common Data Set: <a href="http://www.barnard.edu/opir/cds/cds-c.PDF%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.barnard.edu/opir/cds/cds-c.PDF&lt;/a>
They also post extensive information on their Planning and Research web site: <a href="http://www.barnard.edu/opir/default.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.barnard.edu/opir/default.htm&lt;/a>

<p>Vassar College doesn't seem to post the Common Data Set on the web.
They do have a "Fact Book" posted <a href="http://registrar.vassar.edu/factbook/main.htm#TopOfPage%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://registrar.vassar.edu/factbook/main.htm#TopOfPage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Be sure to Call Admissions and let them know you are still interested, (if you really are) and they should be better able to advise you what your chances are.</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>36 percent of colleges and universities
maintain a wait list. On average,around
12 percent of all students who apply to
these institutions are placed on the wait list.</p>

<p>Counselor-reported wait list statistics,2003.</p>

<p>Mean percentage of students placed
on at least one wait list 16.6</p>

<p>Mean percentage of wait-listed
students accepted to the institution
that wait listed them 14.9</p>

<p>Amherst please, thanks.</p>

<p>Amherst only has 2003 completely posted - 2002 is missing sections A,B C and D</p>

<p>(Section C is where the First-year Admissions information is listed)</p>

<p>Looks like they are making extensive use of the wait list.
Good Luck</p>

<p>Fordham University, please.</p>

<p>Fordham doesn't seem to have the Common Data Set Posted.</p>

<p>US News for Fall 2003
Qualified applicants placed on waiting list: 1,300
Applicants accepting a place on waiting list: 700
Students enrolled from waiting list: 151
Total Class Size 1728
8.7 % of Class came from the wait list</p>

<p>Looks like they use the Wait List to achieve the desired class size.
But this report doesn't break it out by campus or program. You should call admissions to let them know of your continued interest, ( If that is true.) and ask them what your chances are for the school you applied for.</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>University of Notre Dame please?</p>

<p>Here's a link to Notre Dame's Office of Institutional Research <a href="http://www.nd.edu/%7Einstres/home3/index.shtml%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.nd.edu/~instres/home3/index.shtml&lt;/a>
Lots of Reports Posted. Only one problem; you need a Notre Dame "NetID" to view them. </p>

<p>Link to"About IR" <a href="http://www.nd.edu/%7Einstres/home3/aboutIR/about_ir.shtml%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.nd.edu/~instres/home3/aboutIR/about_ir.shtml&lt;/a>

In the past, most of the office's information has been limited to the University's top officials, such as the Office of the Provost and the deans of the colleges. Now, however, much of the statistical information on the Web site is available to any member of the Notre Dame community with a NetID. The goal behind this expanded access is to provide an authoritative source for data-supported decision-making on a broader level and to make the office's resources better known to the University community.

<p>Thought some of you might want to know
when the most selective colleges/universities
have their freshmen class enrollment completed.</p>

<p>Week of May 15th. Therefore, you should
be informed of your wait listed status in 5 weeks
from April 4, 2005, give or take 1 week.</p>

<p>The colleges/universities contact perspective
wait listed applicants via phone calls, email
and snail mail.</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK to all wait listed applicants.</p>

On the 1998 Common Data set was the Comment: Wait List has not been used in two years.</p>

<p>Looks like they rarely need to go to their wait list.</p>

<p>Trinity College please</p>

<p>Trinity College's Office of Institutional Research, lists a lot of reports. Some of which are viewable by anyone, some of which only will come up on a computer on the Trinity Campus. Link: <a href="http://www.trincoll.edu/TrinityAZ/InstitutionalResearch/reports.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.trincoll.edu/TrinityAZ/InstitutionalResearch/reports.htm&lt;/a>
They have an analysis of their postion in the US News Rankings <a href="http://caribou.cc.trincoll.edu/orgs_localirp/reports/2004/usnews.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://caribou.cc.trincoll.edu/orgs_localirp/reports/2004/usnews.htm&lt;/a>
But they don't list the Common Data Sets on their web site.</p>

<p>US News for Fall 2003
Qualified applicants placed on waiting list: 1,377
Applicants accepting a place on waiting list: 364
Students enrolled from waiting list: 7
