<p>So who else got waitlisted today? This was the worst letter I have ever received from a college. I am used to either getting accepted or rejected in the first sentence. It took them till the MIDDLE OF THE SECOND PARAGRAPH to tell me I was waitlisted.</p>
<p>Hehe it's okay...I didn't really want to go all the way to New York from SoCal anyway ;)</p>
<p>Stats:
GPA: 4.1
SAT: 1310/750/630/620
ACT: 31
Decent essays and ECs, good recs.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted as well, eh....
which school did you apply to?</p>
<p>this sucks.... nyu was my first choice, i'm ****ed</p>
<p>1490/800/770/750, 3.8</p>
<p>10% chance, i dont like those odds</p>
<p>I applied to CAS for Civil Engineering</p>
<p>I applied to CAS and got waitlisted. I never thought I would get in, so I am actually kind of excited. I never had it high on my list, but now that I got waitlisted I would definitely go there if I got in off the list.</p>
<p>upwardbound which school did u apply to?</p>
<p>CAS, i'm very disappointed</p>
<p>upwardbound, how do you know there's a 10% only of getting off the waitlist?</p>
<p>I don't know about upwardbound but, my waitlist letter said that in previous years there were ~1700 kids placed on the waitlist and ~175 of those kids were offered admission. Thus, 10%.</p>
<p>waitlisting seems so cruel and arbitrary. what makes the adcom decide whether one person should be waitlisted and another flat out rejected?</p>
