<p>I just recieved a letter offering a place on the wait list saying that "Kenyon maintaines a selective wait list of approximately 200 students". I'm going to accept the place on the wait list. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice for eventually getting accepted?</p>
<p>ps. I got 2060 on the SATs</p>
<p>My daughter was surpised and naturally disappointed to receive notice that she has been put on the waitlist. Her best interview and college visit was at Kenyon; the student she interviewed with and her really hit it off. As for stats:</p>
<p>1440/1600 SAT I and 11 on the essay
SAT IIs - 770 (USH), 740 (BIO-M), 730 (CHEM)
3.9 unweighted GPA
rank -- 10 of 170
Most rigorous course of study in her school (By which I mean no other student took as demanding a course schedule as she did)
Teacher recs -- excellent
GC Recs -- very good
ECs and leadership -- excellent</p>
<p>One possible factor: Her essay was excellent, but she did allude to her overcoming anorexia as a sophomore. She realized this was risky, but was not interested in attending a school that would turn her down because of her eating disorder.</p>
<p>But who really knows?</p>
<p>Anyway, she's not sure whether or not she will accept the wait list as she has other offers with considerable scholarship money.</p>
<p>Congratulations to those who were accepted by this great school and good luck to those of you who were waitlisted or who didn't make the cut. I'm sure anyone who applied to Kenyon is a great student and will have a successful college career wherever they go.</p>
<p>i got waitlisted too, kind of surprised. i knew it was tough to get into, but i didn't think it was a reach school.</p>
<p>i got a 1400/1600 on the SAT ... I think a 2170/2400?</p>
<p>Waitlisted too, pretty disappointed. After my visit, Kenyon is definitely my first choice. </p>
<p>I got 1390/2040 on the SAT.</p>
<p>My brother was waitlisted in spite of already having gotten admitted to Grinnell and Macalester.</p>
<p>24/363 Rank. 690V, 690M, 670W.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they rank the waitlist? How do you know otherwise where you are on the list?</p>
<p>its unranked, but they said they rank it later... however that works.</p>
<p>Now that most college decisions are out, are those of you who were waitlisted going to accept a place? I'm still on the fence.</p>
<p>well, I was also waitlisted and will remain on the wait-list since Kenyon is my first choice anyway.</p>
<p>My stats are as follows:</p>
<p>SAT1: 2110/2400 (CR: 620, M: 790, W: 700), </p>
<p>SAT2: Math L2: 760
Physics: 680
Math L1: 730</p>
<p>GPA: 3.92 out of 4.00 uw.
-most rigorous course load at high school,
-no ranks</p>
<p>Strenghts/hooks: great recs, strong ECs, international, showed much (but obviously not enough) interest in Kenyon through my essays and correspondence....</p>
<p>Weaknesses: asking for need-based financial aid</p>
<p>Anyone else? Are there internationals waitlisted here and with what stats?</p>
<p>Do they award merit/need-based scholarships to those accepted from the waitlist?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Are people waitlisted in a "ranked" manner?
If a number of students don't enroll from a particular high school will they specifically look at that high school's list of waitlisted candidates?</p>
<p>they told us waitlist students aren't ranked. But they probably look at demographics when they choose (though I don't think a particular high school would matter).</p>
<p>So it's finally May 1! I wonder if Kenyon will be using their waitlist this year.</p>
<p>Anyone know anything?</p>
<p>nothing so far, fingers crossed :)</p>
<p>Hey guys---</p>
<p>Painstakingly enough, i've given up my seat for Kenyon. Good luck guys! One spot open!</p>
<p>Rumor has it that Kenyon's waiting until the end of may...</p>
<p>hey, does anyone know how much time they will give you to confirm that you want to enroll if they accept you off the waitlist? I will be away between May 29 and June 1 due to a chess tournament held in another city and this rumor over there doesn't sound good to me :)</p>
<p>Why don't you email them that? Then they know your interest and intent and you can enjoy the tournament.</p>
<p>Any news, anyone?</p>
<p>Guess the late May rumour was a false alarm...</p>
<p>My son was told by admissions that they are waiting to see how many people who accepted at Kenyon withdraw because they got off other waitlists. They expect to have a few places sometime this month, but it didn't sound like they were going to take many off the waitlist. They have already taken seven, they said.</p>
