So petty and myopic. You say OP owes you nothing, then bone on again about how she didn't offer up the stats you wanted. As I said upthread, stats won't help you. All these kids have the stats.

Quit hounding someone when they posted to celebrate. Start your own thread asking for (useless) stats from those admitted from WLs.

Disagree. If stats are low (relatively) or there is a hook, it puts a very different spin on the acceptance and lets others know that getting off the waitlist there is highly unlikely for anyone else. I also disagree that all kids getting into these schools are very high stats. Sure, most are…definitely not all.

Regardless, it is highly unlikely for anyone else.

If your kid gets off the waitlist at this point, how much time does the school give you to decide?

What happens if you already committed to another school? Do you just lose the deposit?

Are these kids who are getting off the Brown waitlist coming from private or public schools? Internet rumor has it that when it comes to waitlists, that's when it helps the most to have gone to a private. The counselors have relationships with the AOs that public school counselors don't.

Disagree with what? Let me repeat: they all have the stats. Perhaps OP 's kid has a hook. That is not stats, and OP does not have to share. She came to celebrate, so let her!

These are your 'paid' private CCs or your private school's CC?

Our private HS does not call or work the phones, but my kid has gotten off 3 WLs in the past week (2T10s and a T20). For 1 he wrote a COL.

The other two just checked a box to stay on the list- nothing extra.

I wouldn't be so sure these ppl you are paying thousands of $$s are doing anything more than what would have happened anyway.

How would it help for a private CC to make a call?
