Hi everybody, I was waitlisted and I just accepted the placement, I asked for FA, what about you? does anybody know when will we receive decisions?
Oh, I just double checked, May 15 will be then.
hey, i’ve been waitlisted too. Are you an international student?
If St Olaf is your top choice, it would be good to take some time to compose a letter stating your continued interest, intention of enrolling if off the wait list, and highlighting ways in which you can contribute to campus life and activities.
hello, @Snowball City I sent the adcom an email but I haven’t heard back. Is it a negative sign?
I don’t think it is necessarily a bad sign. It has probably been noted somewhere on your computer file. As April moves along towards May 1st they will get a sense of how well the admissions formula (admit this x students in order to have a class of y students) has worked this year.
I took a look at the Common Data Set. Last year they took only 3 off the wait list ; the year before they took over 100. How many this year?
I read on CC how many students are applying to huge numbers of colleges. It has got to be very difficult for St Olaf to figure out how many students to accept in order to yield a class.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you…
That is very kind of you. Thank you very much.
