Waitlist "accept admission without hestitation" Forum

[bruinsbaseball]

So I've been waitlisted at a few schools that suggest you write that you would "accept attend without hesitation if admitted". I would love to attend any of these schools that waitlisted me. Would it be a good idea to write all of them saying the say thing, that i would immediately say "yes" if accepted?

well, it's technically true. You would.

but what if you get into 2 or 3 at the same time? its like doing an early admission to 3 schools i guess - not a good idea

The odds of all of the schools taking you off the waitlist in the same couple of hours is small enough that it's not that big of a problem, not really like doing 3 early admissions at all.

High pressure sales tactics to go with those colorful sales brochures aka viewbooks.

I wouldn't guess its a tough decision, you're either going to have a preferred choice already setup (and probably should have withdrawn from the list if that's the case) when you get the call or you're going to accept.

Losing a seat deposit to go to a preferred school seems a little trivial considering its maybe 1% of your total cost.

Since it's true, then yes. Good luck riding out those waitlists.

You always have the option to say no. So the smart thing would be to say yes without hesitation to all. And then say no with hestitation if and once you get the one you want.
