[quote=Anonymous]Pps are both so wrong. They had institutional priorities they had to meet which didn’t leave enough room for the unhooked kids they really liked- those kids get WL’d. It does not mean they like someone better. They might have fought hard for these kids in committee. We were told time and time again it’s an accomplishment to get WL at an Ivy, a T10, etc. It means you had everything there just wasn’t enough space at the Inn. They don’t have large WLs. They might have an entering class of 1,500-1,700 only with 50-60k Applicants and put only 800–1k on the WL. My kid was called May 2nd for an Ivy WL and then 2 days later off another and a T10. He chose the first Ivy and his Freshmen year won a departmental award. You also need to remember by RD for unhooked kids the admittance rate is closer to 3-4% vs the 15-25% in ED. So these can be more highly competitive kids than those in the early round and much much fewer space. [/quote]
