whats up with ALL the waitlists???

<p>thx, i will, i still hope for andover though</p>

<p>I am 13 and got waitlisted at several places. When I called and talked to my interviewer, he said that one of the reasons was my age (my Dad is a lawyer and he said not age suit, shucks) - suggested I reapply for 9th next year when I was 14. They have had some problems with 13 year olds "coping"</p>

<p>oh my god. im 13 too, AND will be repeating 9th grade AND applied last year. (then my mom decided i couldn't go!)</p>

<p>laxtaxi, I don't think that means a 10% acceptance rate. They probably said they took ten people for each available spot, which means around a 50% yield for a 20% acceptance rate (which I think was Middlesex's acceptance rate last year)</p>

<p>huggin.....Ha...if that's true, you DEFINITELY wouldn't have gotten in last year! Your mom is smart. </p>

<p>Biggest: that sucks. you don't seem like an immature 13 year old!</p>

<p>I sort of agree with Jon on this one.</p>

<p>i did get in last year, to mercersburg, oh well, didnt want to go there anyway</p>

<p>I am new to CC....it's very interesting. </p>

<p>I have been waiting for almost 3 months for March 10th to come (since I did my applications). And now I found out that I am waitlisted at 3 schools (Concord, Middlesex, and St. Marks). I waited for more waiting :( </p>

<p>Andover rejected me so I don't need to stress about that anymore. I am so glad that I was accepted to a day school. </p>

<p>I also wondered why there seems to be so many people waitlisted. It feels more like a rejection (just a nice one).</p>

<p>laxtaxi, I don't think that means a 10% acceptance rate. They probably said they took ten people for each available spot, which means around a 50% yield for a 20% acceptance rate (which I think was Middlesex's acceptance rate last year)</p>

<p>Actually, no. They had like 934 applicants for 100 slots.</p>

<p>how come you did not want to go to mburg. I got accepted there and was thinking of it vs others.</p>

<p>because i was 12, and my mom thought to young. it sucks</p>

<p>Not true. They sent a letter out. It was 10%. They have a new head of admissions and he's changed a ton of stuff.</p>

<p>i hear about 50 new 10th graders come in every year..</p>
