<h2>The Prospective College Students on CC have an opportunity to do some research and share the results with every one else on CC.</h2>

<p>How to find Waitlist Info.
Look at the Colleges Common Data Set Information.</p>

<p>I find the Common Data Set information by going to a College's web site and using their websites Search tool to look for "Common Data Set".</p>

<p>If the College Makes them available, there are usually a few years of them available.
Look at Section C - First Year, First Time Freshman Admission.</p>

<p>There is lots of info there on the incoming class for that year, including the wait-list info.</p>

<p>I like to post a link back to the College Web site, so you can check the facts for your self. ( Sort of an electronic foot note)</p>

<hr>

<p>If the college doesn't post the Common Data Sets, call the College Admissions Office or Registrar and ask them for the Common Data Set info.
They have it, every College fills it out to supply US News and World Report, Kaplans, Princeton Review and the other Rating organizations with data.</p>

<hr>

<p>Now that you know how to fish, share your findings with the rest of us.

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm a reporter with the Philadelphia Inquirer, and I'm writing a story about the many students who are now stuck on wait lists. If you're on the wait list at a Philadelphia-area school, we'd love to hear your story. I can be reached at <a href="mailto:pkerkstra@phillynews.com">pkerkstra@phillynews.com</a>, or through the College Confidential messaging system.</p>

<p>Thanks very much.</p>
