starbucks_lattie Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I'm wait listed for two of my top choices. I am just wondering on average, how likely can wait listed students make it to the admission? Any ideas? Is there anything I can do besides waiting?
That Guy Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Last year I was waitlisted at two institutions (ultimately did not get in). My advisor reccomended that there really isn't anything you can do other than to follow up once to let them know you remain interested, and then once again would be appropriate on the 1st of April.
starbucks_lattie Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 Thank you! It seems very difficult to get in once on the waiting list... heartbroken...

I think it depends on where you're waitlisted. If you're waitlisted at a T50 school, you might have a better chance at getting in than a T5 (or T10). Also, where you are on the waitlist also matters, and I'd be checking up and reiterating my interest as much as possible. Plus, don't give up hope yet. Right now, programs are still having their campus visit days and people are still making their decisions/waiting to hear back from other programs. They have a little more than a month to get back to you
