You were likely among one of the nearly 40,000 applicants who vied for a place in the first-year class. During the 2022-23 application cycle, 1,710 students were offered a place on the waitlist. Some years, like in 2017 , Princeton accepts more than 100 students off the waitlist. But it isn’t actually all bad news.

It’s also a super hard to get into school, and if you’re here, you’ve been waitlisted and don’t know what to do next. Georgetown’s acceptance rate for 2022 was around 12% – a very competitive rate, which translates to their waitlist data. 40 of those students were accepted off the waitlist. Reach out to us today.

But you are obviously aware of how competitive Penn is because you’re here for something else – waitlist info. Before we talk about how to get off the waitlist, let’s dive into their recent data re: waitlist. Out of those 2,508 students, 147 were admitted off the waitlist. You gotta tell them that you wanna be there!

If you applied to Princeton and were notified that you are being offered a space on the waitlist, you should know that this is not a ‘soft rejection.’ They aren’t waitlisting you because they don’t want to reject you. It’s an offer to be on the waitlist, and now the ball is in your court. To put it simply, it isn’t personal.

This rise in exclusivity has impacted the waitlist process, too. Dartmouth reports that “fewer than 10 percent of applicants are offered a place on the wait list,” and between 600 and nearly 2000 students accept that offer to try their luck on the waitlist. If you’re anxious about being on a waitlist, we’re pros at this.
