Deferred admissions from University of Minnesota twin cities and University of wisconsin madison?
Sometimes you can find out the percentage of students who get in who were on the waiting list. I couldn't find it listed in the reference books I have. The problem with being a freshman at college this year, is this is one of the biggest high school graduating classes (across the nation). Much larger than it has been for years. So now you have many more kids competing for the same amount of spots at colleges. At one very small college my daughter has applied to they have 4000 more application this year than the norm- they are only admitting in 1/4 of them. You may be able to get an answer if you call up the admissions office at the universities and ask what percent do they feel will get in from the wait list.
