[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But if you knew they were no’s , as we did, then you coach your kid appropriately and turn their attention to the what is real - their acceptances. Part of that is on you OP. However I generally agree that the whole college application process is over-manufactured BS. [/quote]

Come on. If someone said to you, “you might get the job,” even if you know deep down you probably won’t, you still harbor some hope.

This isn’t on the parents. [/quote]

But WL isn’t “you might get the job” it’s we sent out acceptances to a slightly larger number of kids than we have spots for or really want. You didn’t meet the cut-off for any of those spots. Also, based on historical data we have factored into that number that some subset will ultimately decline the offer and go elsewhere. If things go as planned no one gets off the waitlist. If that number is much bigger than we expected then over the next few months we might reach out to see if you are still interested. The good news is we think you have good stats and would be a good addition on campus. The bad news is that might mean you have to wait until July or even early August. Also, if you are a legacy we might put you on the waitlist even if you will never get in because we don’t want to piss off your parents who have donated money.[/quote]
