Waitlisted at Georgetown SSP...Lost Cause?

[ahall2112]

I'm not exactly sure how the waitlist game works. From the looks of other threads, being waitlisted is considered a rejection. Just wanted to confirm and move forward. A bit disappointed as SSP was my top choice. 

 

Anyone have any insight or know what the chances are of getting off of a wait list?

I'm in the same boat with Fletcher waitlist. As I understand it, we are considered admissible, but there were not enough spots. So, if other people refuse their offers of admission, those spots become available to those of us on the waitlist. Along the way, you can send additional info (varies by school) to, essentially, plead your case as to why you should be admitted from the waitlist over others. 

Good luck, whatever you decide to do.

Thanks for the clarification J_Phil. Best of luck with Fletcher! I'm going to give them a call on Monday and see if they accept additional material.
