[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thinking through the application process now that it is out of our hands. Does anyone know how many kids ultimately were admitted from the waitlist? From this thread, fewer than 10 it seems. [/quote]

I have a DS in this freshman class, I heard from him of two from a fellow freshman’s school (St Anselms I believe) that got off the waitlist. But I think that was probably strings being pulled. I think it was likely under 5 total and all those would be with major help from donors or someone high up. There’s over 150 in the class. [/quote]

This is basically correct. About 5 waitlist kids got in based on various factors. There are approximately 250 boys in the 2029 class. [/quote]

The Gonzaga Waitlist is one of the frequent topics on here.

Every Spring after acceptances are sent out, the forum has several questions about how "real" it is? Their son had been put on the Waitlist and they want to know what his chance of getting off it are.

People point out this is a low probability deal. The school accepts a few off what is most likely a relatively long WL if they miss their "yield" projection by a few.
. 
But some posters chime in that they know of someone who got off. These posters are trying to be "kind". One wonders if that really is kind when the best advice might be for the family to start more seriously considering Plan B.

The same drama plays out every year. 2026 won't be any different.[/quote]
