cdawson92 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I'm just curious if anyone has any insights as to how many people schools generally put on their wait lists? I've now been wait listed at four different schools, so I'm curious what my odds are of getting accepted off one of them!
twinguy7 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 All schools are different but If I had to guess I'd say they waitlist about the same amount that they accept. So if they are looking to get a cohort of 30, they would most likely have at least 30 on the waitlist. Some schools keep almost everyone on the waitlist because they just don't know how many offers of acceptance are going to be refused.
NSSLHANerd Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Many schools such as UW-Milwaukee have 70 people or more on the waitlist, and their desired class size is 25
samset Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Many schools such as UW-Milwaukee have 70 people or more on the waitlist, and their desired class size is 25 70? That is absolutely ridiculous!
elisas390 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Iona's waitlist this year apparently has 60 people on it, and I'm one of them. According to ASHA Edfind, last year their target class size was 15. I sincerely hope that number has increased because 60 seems like a ridiculously high number and is extremely discouraging, but now that I see other schools with that number or higher for their wait lists i feel a little better.
DeWi Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 60? 70? Man, I don't feel quite so hopeful now. That's a bummer.
Saila09 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 U of Iowa has their wait list stats on the website. I think it was 40? It might be worth it to call your programs and ask about your status. Each department is different.
polarbeara Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 U of Iowa has their wait list stats on the website. I think it was 40? It might be worth it to call your programs and ask about your status. Each department is different. I second this. I contacted a school to see where I was on the wait list and they were able to at least let me know which "quadrant" I was in. Make sure they didn't specifically tell you to not contact them about where you are on the wait list though...I had one school do that!
NSSLHANerd Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 CosmicMorgan, I know a few people (myself included) who have taken or will take themselves off the Whitewater waitlist!!! Rooting for you!
DeWi Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 NSSLHANerd, thank you!!!! I would LOVE to go there. I genuinely appreciate how supportive this forum is
Ama0616a Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I asked Iona if they could give me my ranking, they said "At this point in time, we are not notifying students of rank position. Should you be accepted, you will be notified immediately via email and mail. " sooooo frustrating

Should you be accepted, you will be notified immediately via email and mail. " sooooo frustrating That's so disheartening to hear, I was going to e-mail and ask as well. Guess we'll just have to keep the faith as best we can.
speech19 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I was waitlisted at MGH and ASU...really just praying theres a chance. anyone have any insight?
s1bailey Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I was wait listed at Worcester State. Anyone else?? And if so have you contacted them about the wait list at all?
clmogel Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Anyone know about Loyola University of Maryland waitlist?
DeWi Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Do you guys think we'll actually hear back this week, or will it take schools a few days to get situated and notify us? I have such a busy week and I don't want to lose my focus my worrying about wait lists.
slp1233 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I think the soonest we will be hearing back will be Thursday April 16th but I think it will be most probably next week or so. It also depends on where we are on the list! We all have to remember that if it's meant to be it will happen!
brendagayle Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Waitlisted at Pacific University. Really hoping it works out! Akon 1
asdfghjk_38 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I was waitlisted at University of South Carolina and got an acceptance email Thursday! So definitely stay positive!!! DeWi 1
candynut Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I just got accepted into my waitlisted school! Waiters rejoice! I'm super happy about getting in, but I'm almost as happy just not be waiting anymore!! Good luck everyone! DeWi 1
gy_son Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Congrats to everyone who got off the waitlist! I've been waitlisted into Portland State (2nd tier) and Southern Connecticut State University. Does any know how people are on their waitlists??? I feel like Portland State won't happen because I am not on the top tier and Southern Connecticut won't give out where I am on their list so let's hope for the best.
whirlp Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I have seen some posts of people being rejected off of the waitlist. Does that usually mean that the program filled all of their spots??
