[quote=Anonymous]As to timing to accept after wait pool call, we were called on a Friday by one of the top independents and they needed a response by Monday (which included signing contract and providing deposit). We had applied for an "non-entry" year. As to the PP's statement that stories like ours give "false hope." I disagree. I think people know deep down whether their DC is honestly a strong candidate. If your DC is, call the school and let them know they are your first choice and you will accept if offered a spot. It does help during their consideration of who to pull from the wait pool, if a spot opens. The fact is, though, you are literally waiting for others to reject their offers. Unfortunately, no one can predict how likely that is to happen - but it does happen. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear![/quote]
