This makes me angry considering that they reopened apps. I would be pissed if my kid was qualified and still on the waitlist
We have been dealing with F&M. Very good experience. All positive.

Stanford puts way too many kids on their waitlist. So obnoxious to string them along emotionally. I've never understood that. The Ivies keep their waitlists much shorter.

Yes and you check no for financial aid. Not applying.

I think Georgetown is not sure if internationals are coming and they did this in case they can’t come. They claim financial aid is not a factor in admissions but they said get your FAFSA in. We are full pay.
If you are full pay, why do you have to fill out the FAFSA? You won't be applying for financial aid, correct?
You don’t. What i said was Georgetown email said make sure your FAFSA is in. We do t have to because full pay.

My kid is on one waitlist but might withdraw from it. We applied for Fa and probably can’t afford the school without nearly full Fa so she didn’t write loci saying “I will come if I get in.”

Watch out for the extended waitlist. My kid was on waitlist until late August and ultimately did not get in. Ridiculous it was dragged out so long. Had her hopes up until the night we drove to her actual college.

This is crazy! Stanford must normally have one of the highest yields around!
