During the 2022-23 application cycle, 1,710 students were offered a place on the waitlist. So, if you weren’t part of the initial admitted class (a <6% acceptance rate), and were instead offered a spot on the waitlist, you are facing daunting odds. That isn’t because the waitlist was particularly strong in 2017 or weak in 2018.

If you’ve ended up on this post, you’ve most likely been on the receiving end of a waitlist offer from NYU — or you’re nervous you might get one and want to have a plan of action in advance in case you do. So, if you’ve been waitlisted, it likely has little to do with who you are and has a lot to do with demand for beds.

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!

We don’t expect to see this slow down anytime soon, as the number of applications for first-year admission to Rice has nearly doubled since 2017. As they’ve become a preferred college of top high school students, Rice hasn’t had to lean on their waitlist to fill the first-year class. Now you’re on the waitlist, what’s next?

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.
