<p>anyone get waitlisted?</p>
<p>i did… o_o</p>
<p>I got accepted into Columbia/Cornell and waitlisted by Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, and Northwestern. I don’t really feel bad at this point. It’s still an incredible honor to be in the upper 1/7 of the already self-selective applicant pool.</p>
<p>My D was waitlisted last year and is now a member of the class of 2014. If u love Princeton, hang in there and good luck!</p>
<p>I got into Columbia, Cornell and UPENN, Brown rejected me
Princeton wait listed. Hmm, I wonder if it was just a courtesy wait list, and where I am on their list.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted too and Princeton is my top choice, so I’m definitely staying on the waitlist!</p>
<p>Accepted to: MIT, UPenn, JHU (BME program), Duke, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UC Davis
Denied at Stanford -_-</p>
<p>Waitlisted at Princeton, Harvard, and Stanford… Hahaha, come on! I’m hoping the most for Princeton to come through, however.</p>
<p>Waitlisted too</p>
<p>To whom/where/when do we send the follow up letters?</p>
<p>Telesilla - I was waitlisted at Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown. I know, it feels like some cruel joke. Aren’t kids who are good enough to be waitlisted at Harvard and Princeton good enough to be accepted to another Ivy/top school?</p>
<p>You just send the letter to the Princeton Admissions office. I think the address can be found in the Common App info page.</p>
<p>I got my waitlist letter in the mail today, sending it out to save a spot as soon as I can! Not hoping for much, but I’d love to somehow make it off.</p>
<p>is there any way we can find out the possiblity of making it off a Princeton waitlist?</p>
<p>^Check Princeton’s Common Data Sets from previous years to see how many people were offered a spot on the waitlist, how many chose to remain on the waitlist, and ultimately how many were taken off of it.</p>

<p>Waitlisted as well…let’s hope we have a chance!:)</p>
<p>I was waitlisted. I have not yet decided whether I will stay on it. I would probably pick Princeton over my other options, but the prolonged uncertainty is very undesirable.</p>
<p>I think you should stay on it! You could be first in line. Who knows.</p>
<p>Is there a DOWNSIDE to accepting Princeton and Yale’s waitlist offers once I accept into Columbia? Aside from losing the deposit if either one accepts me and I decide to attend there? Just the uncertainty?</p>
<p>Silverturtle, you strike me as a very rational person, and it would seem to be completely out of character for you to allow a short term and ultimately meaningless consideration like “discomfort” to trump the possibilty of expanding your college options in a meaningful way. I imagine some of your admissions results must be discouraging for you – particularly after the incredible passion you have invested in the college admissions process – but FWIW I think you should “suck it up” and see what happens. Last year, I stayed on Harvard’s waitlist all the way to the bitter end (I survived 2 rounds of cuts and then got axed in the final rejection wave in late June), and, even though I ultimately failed, I would never have forgiven myself if I didn’t put everything I had into seeing if I could get over the hump. Of course I was depressed for a few days, but it didn’t take me long to totally reconcile myself emotionally to my second choice (Penn, which I picked over Princeton and several other schools). My first year has been great – no regrets-- and I can go through life knowing I maximized my opportunities. Anyway, best of luck, and thanks for all of your great insights here on cc.</p>
<p>Rocky, no there is no other downside other than losing a deposit. If you hate uncertainty, send in your WL letters and forget about it.</p>
<p>But don’t go on any waitlist unless you intend to accept a spot if offered one.</p>
