On the Waitlist for College? Here's What to Do
First off - congratulations!! It may not be the result you had hoped for, but it is certainly still an amazing accomplishment. Being accepted onto a waitlist for college may feel like a bit of a gut punch, but it’s imperative to view it as the complement it is: you are a front-running candidate to enter the program. Remember: they also had the option of not putting you on the wait list at ALL.
As someone who has been on multiple waitlists for various types of programs, I completely understand your pain. Sometimes it’s easier to just know one way or the other…ESPECIALLY if that’s your first-choice program. There’s nothing more agonizing than feeling like you’re putting your life on hold as you’re waiting for a yes while most of your other friends are already excitedly making plans for their next year.
The one positive thing here is that you have been given the gift of more time. When you get immediate acceptance into a program, the clock is ticking right away. You will sometimes need to accept a place before all of your options are in front of you.
Getting put on a waitlist for college gives you a chance to really assess the situation and decide if it’s an option you would take, or if you may be better off elsewhere.
