<p>According to this site I found:
Applicants Placed on Waiting List:
539
Applicants Accepted From Waiting List:
214
Students Enrolled From Waiting List:
0</p>
<p>How accurate/recent is this information? I just googled it, not sure. Why would 0 students enroll? I’m guessing crappy financial aid?</p>
<p>AGuzman:
The site you linked to has incorrectly identified the data:</p>
<p>What they are calling “Applicants Accepted From Waiting List” is really
the “Number accepting a place on the waiting list”.</p>
<p>This is the data from the Sarah Lawrence Common Data Set the college has posted for Fall 2007 [url=<a href=“http://www.slc.edu/about/reports/index.html]Reports[/url”>http://www.slc.edu/about/reports/index.html]Reports[/url</a>]
Number of qualified applicants offered a placed on waiting list…594
Number accepting a place on the waiting list…271<br>
Number of wait-listed students enrolled…31</p>
<p>Good Luck :)</p>
<p>richs-
the links above (like 681,682) seem to link right back to this thread. Can you repost the link to your data?</p>
<p>Oh, thank you richs. I guess my chances are not too horrible. Also, sorry to the moderator who had to remove my link.</p>

<p>Above stats as of August 1, 2010. </p>
<p>The Percentage of Wait list Admitted was calculated using the number reported for those “Agreeing to be on the Wait List”.
If that was not available, then the number of those “Offered a spot on Wait list” was used in the calculation.</p>

<p>OK, this is interesting. Question: How valid is the hypothesis that the higher the percentage of people that say “Yes, please leave me on the wait list”, the more highly thought of the school is compared to others? Rather like the cross-admit measure that says the more a school is picked over other schools to which the student is also admitted, the more “prestigious” that school is in its peer group.</p>
