<p>I got wait-listed so far by two schools:</p>
<p>Deerfield
Hotchkiss</p>
<p>I have been accepted by some other schools I would be happy to attend, but if Deerfield or Hotchkiss did accept me by April 10th I would definitely choose them over my current accepted schools. Is it best I first inform the DOA that I would like to stay on the Waitlist and then send in additional materials (grades, present teacher recs, ec's)?</p>
<p>Usually, waitlisted applicants aren't notified that they've been taken off the waitlist until after April 10. You should probably notify you're current accepted schools. If you are adamant on staying on the waitlist, then you should probably send in addition materials. Look up "how to get off the waitlist" on google. :D What schools did you get in to? CONGRATS!</p>
<p>waitlist is really tough this year, b/c of the economy. but if you are full pay, then...hmm....</p>
<p>i guess i would enroll at the accepted schools. it's better then waiting and being disappointed then having nothing to fall back on</p>
<p>Wait I don't understand.</p>
<p>So I can only choose to stay at the school I've already been accepted at or choose to stay on the wait-list?</p>
<p>I thought that at a school where I've been wait-listed, I can still make a decision by April 10th so I can see if I've been accepted at that particular school. Are you saying that at this point I can only choose to stay on the wait-list, and wait to see my results, or I can wait until the schools I've been wait-listed make a final decision, and if I get rejected I can still enroll myself into the schools I was accepted at?</p>
<p>Yes, but because you accepted the other school by April 10th, and you get accepted at DA/Hotchkiss, it means that you'd be losing a lot of money if you decided to go to your waitlisted ones.</p>
<p>You CAN stay on the WL after accepting another school after April 10th, but if you were accepted at a WL school, you would loes your deposit at the other one.</p>
<p>And a lot of times, WL notifications come way after April 10th.</p>
<p>when are WL notifications mostly like to come? April 18th? or in later months?</p>
<p>Any time after April 10th. Most likely later. Sometimes (this happened the year I was WLed) there won't be ANY spots after April 10th, but spots that do open up are due to shifting.</p>
<p>olivia, thanks a lot, you've been a great help! :)</p>
