Do you know what your kid will do OP?

Anonymous wrote:OP was actually incredibly helpful. She told us how the school contacted her and what the interests of the student was. She didn't have to do that. For someone - me - who has a child on the waitlist that was a lot. If you want stats, I'll be happy to share: perfect or near perfect GPA. Most rigorous course load your school offers in your area of interest and pretty good ECs that demonstrate leadership. Scores: look at the range of the school and be in them. There are no surprises here other than the competition is fierce and everyone has what you have. OP: Thank you again for sharing your child's area of interest and how the school contacted you. Best of luck to you!

When my kid got off some waitlists, I shared when asked because I think of these boards as a give and take. There have been plenty of times people have been helpful providing information when asked even though it doesn't help the OP to give any details, it helps others. Oh well...

So petty and myopic. You say OP owes you nothing, then bone on again about how she didn't offer up the stats you wanted. As I said upthread, stats won't help you. All these kids have the stats.

Quit hounding someone when they posted to celebrate. Start your own thread asking for (useless) stats from those admitted from WLs.
