<p>Got my decision today - waitlisted =(
anyone else waitlisted n still tryin to get off the waitlist?</p>
<p>Some Stats from the Oberlin CDS 2005-2006</p>
<p>C2 Number of qualified applicants offered a placed on waiting list 891<br>
C2 Number accepting a place on the waiting list 640<br>
C2 Number of wait-listed students admitted 33</p>
<p>Yes I was waitlisted also =(
I am trying to get off the waitlist</p>
<p>I've been waitlisted at Oberlin and two other schools, and I don't think I am going to pursue my status at any of them. After all the time, effort, and emotion I've invested in this whole process, to keep trying with odds so long, knowing that the chances are so extremely slim, is just too difficult for me. I couldn't build up hope and go through the whole draining process of not getting in again...but that's just me, and I admire those who can pursue it. Then again, maybe the majority of people who accept a spot on the waitlist think like me and give up, so it may be easier to get off than it appears (if you send in extra materials and such).</p>
