<p>Do you have a policy of placing students on a waiting list? No

<p>Well, all the Colleges you listed, except for the University of New Hampshire, maintain Waitlists.</p>

<p>George Mason, James Madison and College of Charleston made use of them in Fall 2008.</p>

<p>As always it comes down to yield, whether or not they go to the waitlist.</p>

<p>Good Luck :)</p>

<p>Boston College please.</p>

<p>Also, does changing your major/program help for boston college waitlist? do they consider major in the waitlist</p>

<p>vassar? thank you</p>

<p>They don’t seem to post their Common Data Set online ( I just go to the College’s web site and search for Common Data Set to find the statistics on the wait list that the colleges post.)
They do post a Fact Book <a href=“http://www.bc.edu/publications/factbook/meta-elements/pdf/08-09/08-09_fact_book.pdf[/url]”>http://www.bc.edu/publications/factbook/meta-elements/pdf/08-09/08-09_fact_book.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>But I can’t find Wait List information in the Fact Book, although it does have a lot of information and Admissions statistics</p>

<p>Here’s a list of the enrollment in Majors over the years <a href=“https://htmldbprod.bc.edu/pls/htmldb/f?p=factbook:130:0[/url]”>https://htmldbprod.bc.edu/pls/htmldb/f?p=factbook:130:0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Good Luck :)</p>

<p>They don’t post their Common Data Set where it’s accessible to the public.</p>

<p>Vassar does not seem to have their Common Data Set posted [Vassar</a> College || Statistics](<a href=“http://admissions.vassar.edu/about_statistics.html]Vassar”>http://admissions.vassar.edu/about_statistics.html)</p>
