Should I reapply after being waitlisted?

Second Time’s the Charm: Reapplying After Being Waitlisted to an MBA Program. Receiving a notice that you’ve been waitlisted to your top choice MBA program is tough.

Does Princeton have a waitlist?

Is a waitlist a soft rejection?

The waitlist is absolutely not a soft rejection; everyone put on the waitlist is considered capable of succeeding at Princeton.

How many students does Princeton waitlist?

Princeton takes 2\% of the students on its waitlist. It’s like waiting for Godot. If there ever was a lottery, an Ivy League waitlist is it. I wouldn’t wait for hell to freeze over or Princeton to give you a call.

Can you use the same essay to reapply?

You can, but it is a terrible idea. Even if a college is for some reason asking very similar questions in their essays, it will make you look like you are either lazy or at best made a mistake and didn’t proofread your essays (as you copied and pasted the same essay for two prompts).

What happens to the waitlist after May 1?

After May 1 enrollment decisions are in, colleges will look at the class and determine if there are additional spots that students on the waitlist can fill, and which of those waitlisted students meet an institutional need – whether the class needs more engineering majors, students interested in theater, or something else.

When do you have to accept an offer if waitlisted?

Since waitlisted students will need to accept an offer by May 1 regardless of whether or not they chose to stay on the waitlist, it’s important to first focus on the colleges where you did get in so that you can make an informed decision about where to enroll.

Can you still go to a college that accepted you off waitlist?

It’s a great feeling to get into your top-choice college after a whirlwind admissions process and waitlist placement. If you still want to attend the college that accepted you off the waitlist, accept your spot and then notify the college at which you already enrolled that you won’t be coming in the fall.
