<p>Hey, I recently got waitlisted. And now I'm struggling with what I should do because Bing has been my dream school. I still wonder why I didn't get accepted:</p>
<p>GPA: 90.85
SAT: 1900 SAT (1290 combined Math + Reading)
EC: Church for 2 years, DECA (Business club), NHS member, Volleyball/Football member of my church, Rowing team, Teacher's assistant/director (~500 hrs volunteered)</p>
<p>Your GPA is slightly low according to Bing’s “average GPA” which I think is somewhere around a 93. But other than that, it could be pure bad luck… I’m sorry.</p>
<p>you’re good as far as ECs go, honestly I’d bet that a 1950 with a 92 would get in with those same stats. Im not sure if Bing’s accepting off the waitlist this year though.</p>
<p>Sometimes you just can’t make sense of admission decisions. I was summarily rejected by Umass-Amherst but, accepted by Binghamton.
87 UW GPA
1440/1600 SAT
My ECs and essay were good/decent
I honestly expected the decisions to be reversed, go figure</p>
<p>Yeah, I am shocked as well and I really wanted to go to Bing as it was my top choice aside from Macaulay Honors Baruch. =/</p>
<p>A classmate at school got accepted from the waitlist this week. Apparently BU doesn’t wait till May 1.</p>
<p>Hey Stage, did your classmate apply to SoM? A friend of mine got waitlisted when he applied to SoM but he got off it, only to be accepted into Harpur. Kind of like a deferral.</p>
<p>I’m curious Stage, but what were your friend’s stats and I thought the decisions for waitlist occur around June? Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m not sure which school he applied to or which he got accepted to, I’ll find out this week. His stats? I’ll ask, I know his GPA was in the 90s.</p>
