I just got put on the waitlist for CU Boulder, and I'm feeling a mix of emotions right now. Can anyone give me an idea of their waitlist acceptance rate and if I still have a good shot at getting in?
It's natural to feel a mix of emotions when you're waitlisted for a college. While I can't give you an exact percentage for CU Boulder's waitlist acceptance rate, it's important to remember that being waitlisted means you're still in contention for a spot in the incoming class.
Waitlist acceptance rates can vary from year to year based on a number of factors, such as the number of students who accept their offers of admission, how many students are on the waitlist, and the school's enrollment goals.
To improve your chances of being accepted off the waitlist, make sure to accept your spot on the waitlist as soon as possible. Additionally, you can write a letter of continued interest (LOCI) to express your enthusiasm for attending CU Boulder and update them on any significant accomplishments or updates since you submitted your application. While it's important to remain optimistic, it's also essential to have a backup plan and consider other college options.
In the meantime, stay patient and be prepared to potentially wait until late spring or even early summer to find out if you've been admitted. Good luck, and I hope things work out for you!
