i just got waitlisted to my dream school, i don’t think i’ve cried this much ever UPDATE: things absolutely can get better, i’m attending that very same school as we speak :))) update: not all things work out i absolutely hate it here, and will transfer asap.
trash awwwweee I’m sorry if it makes u feel better I got waitlisted at UC Davis which like everyone at my school gets into...hopefully we’ll both get off the list Lolol
Got waitlisted at my dream school (Stanford) and didn’t get into any school i really like or necessarily can afford. Please hope for me that I get in!🤞🏽
i got rejected from stanford as expected. I got into cuny and suny. The reason i got into cornell and northwestern was becausethey saw my Amazing boost in my sat score. First one i got 1210. Second i got 1230 and then boom after taking sat prep classes on my third sat i took in august 2017 and got a 1450.
I did volunteer at a hospital, library. I did School service. I am in the arista honor national society. I collected pennies for patients for the LLS society. I am part of a CUNY AREM GENOMICS PROJECT AND STREPTOMYCES PROJECT. I can go on and on
Muhammad Ahsan Shafique Did you, or anyone else who may read this, recieve the confusing email that you were accepted into the EOP program earlier this week?
Francisco Ramirez Hahaha! I didn’t receive that email myself, but I do know people who got it. They contacted the Admissions Office and learnt that it was sent out by mistake, and even some rejected applicants received it. So they advised to disregard it.
Waitlisted at Harvard University. I know my chances are very low as they waitlist many people. They give us (waitlisted people) an opportunity to add additional information! This really helped thank you!!
insights to the statistics and likelihood of acceptance to certain schools is helpful for students to form a strategy that will set expectations. Great content as always, Brooke! Thanks!
No they only wanted the waitlist response form. I wish I knew that before I sent it because I did it in the heat of the moment and didn't really think out my reply
Thank you. I'm not really sure if I can give you any tips, being that I'm still on the waitlist and blew my chances of giving Stanford a good update. But I know there are many TH-camrs out there with info on that kind of thing. I know Nicholas Chae actually reads what he sent to Princeton and got off the waitlist so you can check that out. Good luck to you with Vassar. I have a friend who is going there for men's volleyball and he's really excited about it.
Fernando Santos well nothing amazing but uc berkeley uc irvine riverside santa barbara and davis and like 4 cal states ive gotten accepted to all i applied to besides berkeley and ofcourse waitlist at UCLA:/ what about you?
Jesxs i did uc santa cruz san diego Berkeley cal poly slo and csu fresno. Got accepted by all except but ucla which was my dreamschool😭😔 but hey being waitlisted is better than being rejected!
Lauren Simmons Congratulations!! You should feel so proud and accomplished that is awesome!! I go waitlisted at Harvard as well and I had the same initial reaction too lol
Waitlisted at UC DAVIS! but accepted into UC Berkeley and UCSB and UC SANTA CRUZ. And UC Davis was my top university! Explain to me why I was waitlisted at a higher acceptance rate school?? Thank you for this video! I will apply for the waitlist and hope that people who got in don’t actually end up going there!
Got waitlisted at Vassar. It was my top choice and I'm honestly just tempted to write "Please take me I love you" a hundred times because I really wanna get in. ;-;
My best friend got wait listed for her high school application (too young for college) while I got in without any problems I am trying the best to help her get in
Waitlisted by Emory yesterday, I was actually pleasantly surprised considering I figured I’d be outright rejected. I’m an international who needs significant financial aid. Good luck everyone else!:)
@@user-xk9hs1cz9c I got off the waitlist yesterday :) I still can't believe it. I'm going to have to make a big decision as to where I ultimately want to go since I'd already committed to Carnegie Mellon
For all of y’all: I took the SAT in August 2017 and I got 1490, 690 reading and 800 math. I know I should be semi-proud of that score, but as an American-Asian, I feel as if this score actually burdens me for it shows that I am stereotypically “good” at math but bad at reading. I dunno for sure though but I don’t feel like this score would actually help me a lot in terms of college admissions? What do y’all think? (I also got 20 on the essay but I still think that colleges would be weary of the 690 reading)
I got the same score! Also Asian-American. 750 - Math and 740 reading. Just make sure to do a few Humanities APs or A-levels. That'll help consolidate you as not the stereotypical all STEM Asian (which I am - lol). Also, schools place more emphasis on your composite score (since that's what influences their exclusivity) rather than breakdown scores.
@James Kim Hey buddy! I actually got the same scores in SAT. I'm from India and have applied to Cornell, Yale, Tufts to name a few (class of 2024). Which Unis did u get into?
I got waitlisted at Williams College. I really like the school. The deadline to respond to the waitlist is May 1, and Williams explicitly says they don't rank students based on when they respond to the waitlist. The other decisions will come around April 1. Should I wait until April 1 and see other decisions, or should I respond to the waitlist now? Note: I am an international student who needs significant financial aid.
If other schools won't affect your response (i.e. this is your top choice) I would respond ASAP. What's more important is a well crafted response or letter than a hasty one, but I have seen students pop off the wait list before the deadline in the past from some schools (which won't happen until you respond). All schools are different though and I can't speak for Williams specifically.
I got waitlisted to one school and of course it had to be my dream school: UCLA. However, I got into Berkeley, but it is just too close to home (20 minutes away) for me to be 100% committed to attending. Maybe I’ll pass the opportunity on Berkeley and go to UCI, UCSB, or UCSD instead since I’ll still get a UC degree. Any thoughts?
@@dionmei8806 hey! I got accepted to uc riverside but rejected from the rest :( (i didn't apply to merced or santa cruz) and i got accepted to sjsu (my local 4-year), csulb, and sdsu and rejected from slo
I successfully appealed my denial of admission (denial based on IMPACTION, met academic requirements) ...broke every letter writing rule in the book and also included an audio version of my letter with the one page paper version. I have shared it for anyone who is interested. I had been admitted prior but a clerical administrative error caused me my admission. My admission was withdrawn and I appealed. I was sure a Dean's letter explaining such would suffice so as advised I kept my appeal letter short and sweet. Didn't work. Was denied and so I was forced to reapply. Second time around I was told I met a academic requirements but was being denied based on IMPACTION. The letter I posted is the unedited original I submitted to the appeals committee. If it helps anyone it's on my channel. Thanks
Hey, don't give up man. I got waitlisted by UNC Chapel Hill as an in-state applicant, but despite going up against really rough odds, I'm still believing in that slim chance. I dearly hope I get accepted off the waitlist.
I was waitlisted by my dream school (Princeton). I am incredibly happy that they saw my application as strong, although who can deny--it would have been a dream to have been admitted on March 28. Still... there's some hope! Also, I was wondering if anyone might have an idea behind this? I just made my decision on college, and decided to look more into the waitlist. I already sent in a LOCI. I looked at the Princeton waitlist historically. Last year they overenrolled and had a 69% yield with 0 waitlist admits. This year, they admitted 50 fewer students overall. These numbers reflect 2017, in which only one less was admitted in the regular decision applicant pool, and 50 people were admitted from the waitlist. However, this year the waitlist decreased significantly, 902 (2019) vs. 1,125 (2018) vs. 1,168 (2017).
Hi! I was waitlisted at NYU. NYU asks you to fill out a wait-list form, with a space to write a 'get me off your waitlist letter'. However, on the form, they explicitly ask that you do not send any updated information (letters of recommendation, appeal requests or updated resumes) other than a Final Transcript. Should I, in this case, ask my guidance counsellor to send them an updated transcript, even though it is not my Final Transcript?
Is a get me off your waitlist letter the same as an appeal letter? And if the school gives us an official form to write the letter with the maximum length of 1000 words, should I go for 900 words letter that already include why I love the school and some awards/activities that i didn't put in my application, or should I still keep it under 500 words?
Ran into technical issues where only half of my portfolio sent to the Fashion Institute of Tech...sending them an appeal letter and a professional copy of my portfolio straight to admissions. Hope this helps me out!!!
got waitlisted from VT (got accepted in less than 20 days after my WL😳) and Vanderbilt (aka one of my dream schools 😭). I didn’t have to write any LOCI for VT, so i’m so nervous to try and send one to Vandy bc i don’t want to come off as pretentious or annoying.
...... so what if I didnt get straight As and my GPA (idk it but i was very much more of a B and C student.) isnt super eye catching what can I say. I can talk about how i made the move, what about court? Ive been waiting for years for this.... 3 years.... did 4 years of schooling where im at im maxed out. I cant take anything else here.... I had to get permission to move... idk about the legalities around it now that i may not get in.....
@Baron Artin thank you, I got lucky with waitlists last year cuz a lot of people decided not to go to college during the pandemic. I’m really sorry for your year cuz there are so many new applicants :( I wish u the best, wherever you end up everything is going to be ok.
Can u pls make a video on bullying, racism fee structure,hostel facility, canteen and other necessary things and how it affects an international student
Basically the same story. BUT you (or someone you trust) should analyze your application and figure out why you were rejected and if you can speak to that reason.
Would talking about my journey into finding my identity as a black women surrounded by Caucasian’s in my gate/AP/honors classes and ultimately being the only African in my friend groups , church, and extra curriculars be a good essay or too cliche ??
Yaz a Daz I know duke had an optional essay about how your race/class/gender/sexuality affected your academics or life up to that point. I think if that affected you, and you write it well and with strength, it would be a great essay :) (especially if you felt it was missing from your original app)
@@OscarHernandez-oi4uu damn I got rejected from UCSB. Waiting to here back from UC Davis but I’m rlly scared cus I’m an out of state student and comp sci is impacted for Davis.
I got waitlisted at Boston College and they say that the only new information they consider is your most recent grades. Despite them saying this, do you think I should email them a letter of continued interest?
I was waitlisted at my dream school and I am trying my best to attend the school of my dreams. No other school I was accepted at fits me as well. I was definitely negligent of a couple aspects of my life/activities that would help "round out" my application, and I want to heighten my chances as much as possible. Is it a good idea to mention activities/honors that happened before I submitted my application that I did not mention in my original application? Thanks!!!
@@tanvee4661 i didn't submit any standardized testing because of COVID, but I had a few extra-curriculars, honors programs, and an internship on my application, I also studied french for 6 years and have a 3.7 gpa. Sorry for the super late response, but those r my stats :) hbu?
@@alysebaker3830 i didn’t submit testing either, i had a 4.5 gpa, ten extracurriculars in total but i only did some of them for a year, and i think my essays were pretty good but i didn’t put myself into the why nyu essay as much as i should have so i think that’s what got me waitlisted
@@noisyboy7231 Honestly, I wasn’t originally since I was already writing an appeal to another school, but I’m definetely considering it now. My sister got into UC Berkeley from a waitlist like 5 years ago and she didn’t do anything so I’m not sure.
Waitlisted for Nursing BSN at WSU in Spokane. In limbo now. High gpa and volunteer experience. My friend was accepted with lower gpa and no volunteer experience. I’m confused.
Sometimes essays matter more than these other factors (volunteer work doesn't add up to much at some schools, also... we discuss that in our Activities Colleges Don't Care About video... to much controversy). Writing a compelling appeal letter is probably your best bet at this point. Good luck!
I just got waitlisted... i called... they told me there was nothing I could do to boost my chances. I treid i called I asked I said i already made the move to the city and everything. They said theres nothing I can do. :( so I cried and said thank you. Told me if I get denied i have to pay the $250.00. Im going to email the admissions office. Said that she has her fingers crossed for me.

@Baron Artin yes I did, but I’m going to UCSB now.
@Baron Artin thank you, I got lucky with waitlists last year cuz a lot of people decided not to go to college during the pandemic. I’m really sorry for your year cuz there are so many new applicants :( I wish u the best, wherever you end up everything is going to be ok.
Can u pls make a video on bullying, racism fee structure,hostel facility, canteen and other necessary things and how it affects an international student
Neeraja Ganugapenta Nah.
Hi can you please do a video on how to successfully appeal after receiving a rejection?
Basically the same story. BUT you (or someone you trust) should analyze your application and figure out why you were rejected and if you can speak to that reason.
Would talking about my journey into finding my identity as a black women surrounded by Caucasian’s in my gate/AP/honors classes and ultimately being the only African in my friend groups , church, and extra curriculars be a good essay or too cliche ??
Yaz a Daz I know duke had an optional essay about how your race/class/gender/sexuality affected your academics or life up to that point. I think if that affected you, and you write it well and with strength, it would be a great essay :) (especially if you felt it was missing from your original app)
Got waitlisted at UC irvine :(
Did you get in? I just got waitlisted as well.
@@kailaskurup9995 Yeah I got in but I committed to UCSB instead which was a way better decision
@@OscarHernandez-oi4uu damn I got rejected from UCSB. Waiting to here back from UC Davis but I’m rlly scared cus I’m an out of state student and comp sci is impacted for Davis.
@@kailaskurup9995 best of luck !

Just got waitlisted at Harvard and not sure how to feel 😬
I have been waitisted I feel so bad:(((
manifesting to get off CMU waitlist and go there ASAP
I got waitlisted at Boston College and they say that the only new information they consider is your most recent grades. Despite them saying this, do you think I should email them a letter of continued interest?
Would you write all this in a appeal letter ?
I was waitlisted at my dream school and I am trying my best to attend the school of my dreams. No other school I was accepted at fits me as well. I was definitely negligent of a couple aspects of my life/activities that would help "round out" my application, and I want to heighten my chances as much as possible.
Is it a good idea to mention activities/honors that happened before I submitted my application that I did not mention in my original application?
Thanks!!!
I would say to mention them if you think they could enrich your application.
i just got waitlisted by nyu and i feel so indifferent, im staying really optimistic though
what were your stats? I just got waitlisted there too
@@tanvee4661 i didn't submit any standardized testing because of COVID, but I had a few extra-curriculars, honors programs, and an internship on my application, I also studied french for 6 years and have a 3.7 gpa. Sorry for the super late response, but those r my stats :) hbu?
@@alysebaker3830 i didn’t submit testing either, i had a 4.5 gpa, ten extracurriculars in total but i only did some of them for a year, and i think my essays were pretty good but i didn’t put myself into the why nyu essay as much as i should have so i think that’s what got me waitlisted
@@tanvee4661 ur GPA was really good, mine was about 4.4 waited for all four years, what did you apply for??
@@alysebaker3830 i applied for CAS and liberal studies, what about u?
Do you have any sample letters that took off the student from the waitlist?
waitlisted at 2/4 dream schools, 3 more waitlists, i keep on getting waitlisted
is it better to call or email?
Waitlisted at Babson College, anyone have any tips?
I got waitlisted here too rn. What do I do?
Waitlisted to Syracuse Univ, my dream school :(
Do you have to accept a waitlist offer?
I got WL for nursing school, I’m kind of happy bc it’s not a no but I’m not bc my acceptance is based on if people drop out or not😭
did u get in...i am waitlisted in humber college...nd waiting someone to drop out😭😭
Just got waitlisted by UCSC 😭
I should add, it’s also the only university i got accepted too 😭😭😭. Wish me the best guys!
@@epicninjali3640 BROO we’re in the same boat 😭 are you going to submit an appeal?
@@noisyboy7231 Honestly, I wasn’t originally since I was already writing an appeal to another school, but I’m definetely considering it now. My sister got into UC Berkeley from a waitlist like 5 years ago and she didn’t do anything so I’m not sure.
Same it's my dream college, I'm gonna commit to San Jose State but I'll go to UCSC if I get accepted off the waitlist for Economics/Mathematics.
Great vid!
Thanks, Jeremiah!
Waitlisted by UCLA. Just looked through the UCLA 2018 transfer waitlist thread on college confidential, none of them got in... pray for me
I got waitlisted at Bucknell and I really want to get in there. I have already sent a LOCI to the admissions. Is there anything I can do more on that?
Waitlisted for Nursing BSN at WSU in Spokane. In limbo now. High gpa and volunteer experience. My friend was accepted with lower gpa and no volunteer experience. I’m confused.
Sometimes essays matter more than these other factors (volunteer work doesn't add up to much at some schools, also... we discuss that in our Activities Colleges Don't Care About video... to much controversy). Writing a compelling appeal letter is probably your best bet at this point. Good luck!
I just got waitlisted... i called... they told me there was nothing I could do to boost my chances. I treid i called I asked I said i already made the move to the city and everything. They said theres nothing I can do. :( so I cried and said thank you. Told me if I get denied i have to pay the $250.00. Im going to email the admissions office. Said that she has her fingers crossed for me.
Waitlisted for CS major for UCI :< wish me luck

@@Ovalee To you too sir. CS is too impacted rip. Waitlisted UCLA and UCI fml
Should you still send in an essay on why you should be taken off the waitlist even if the school hasn't let you know what forms they want?
Waitlisted at UChicago, praying I get in :/
