There's nothing wrong with American, they have some fine programs (especially intl law). But I did start laughing when I got the WL email. Apparently it's a YP day today.

Re: American U
Just got the waitlist email after being complete since like 10/9. I can only be bemused at this because I have auto admit numbers and I've gotten scholarships to much better schools. Try as I might I can't help but look at this YP as dishonest, stat-centric garbage and it pisses me off that institutions of learning stoop to this garbage.

Re: American U
I don't mean for my first post to come off as snotty as it sounds, because I really like American. I did a semester-long program there during undergrad and loved it. But my numbers should have been pretty damn safe for getting in to AU. I'm already in at higher-ranked schools, so I def be withdrawing...

Re: American U
This was the most blatant incident of Yield Protection I have ever seen. This is actually an entire batch of people with auto admit numbers.

Statuscheckerssuck and jbrowning: I hope American sees your comments and tells the other schools you have applied to.

Re: American U
If you really cared about attending, then you shouldn't have withdrawn, and demonstrated your continued interest. Sounds like they made the correct decision!Holly Golightly wrote:Annnnnnnnd withdrawn.

Re: American U
Exactly what would be the negative if that happened? They'd find out I don't appreciate having my application handled in a dishonest fashion? Or they'd see that I'm glad to have the opportunity to enroll at Notre Dame with a half scholarship so that I'm not forced to be subject to ridiculous practices of American?Doodsmack wrote:Statuscheckerssuck and jbrowning: I hope American sees your comments and tells the other schools you have applied to.
Hey man I wish you luck with the rest of your cycle. I'm fine with mine.

Re: American U
I just got WLed with a 165 and a 3.9 from a non-HYP Ivy. I can't think of anything that could have went wrong on my application (especially considering I've been accepted into the T20 with money). Therefore, is it same to assume they yield-protected me as well? Does anybody know how likely it is they'll accept me if I show continued interest?

Waitlisted with 3.3/167. What a joke. I guess it will be BU, BC, or Fordham instead

Fill out their survey and send in an LOCI and I think you should be good.ctn8 wrote:I just got WLed with a 165 and a 3.9 from a non-HYP Ivy.
