[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WL are real. Has she reached out to admissions?[/quote]

Op, here. Yes, she reached out, wrote LOCI, etc. All the WLs she was on now closed (some were the UC system schools).

We also used the lottery ticket analogy. But we saw how she was holding out hope. Tough for her with 6. Maybe 1-2 wouldn’t have impacted her as much.

Anyway it’s all over now for her, she knows she is going to a school that was not a top choice but it is what it is. She bought some shirts and such and is trying to get into the spirit.

I think the process could be improved if the schools wanted to do that. But they clearly do not. [/quote]

I am absolutely with you. Best wishes to your daughter with her school.
The colleges should be better with the application process. A school has no reason to put thousands of students on the waitlist while they know only several dozens can possibly come off. Not sure this makes schools feel good or schools want to make students feel good. Either way, it's cruel to students and is despicable.[/quote]

Agreed. They can cry, "algorithms" all they want. Fix the damn algorithms, then.

This is not me trying to shield my kid from disappointment. I have an issue with unnecessarily inefficient systems that wreck havoc. [/quote]
