[quote=scaredyclassic]im hoping this somehow presents an opportunity for my little one to sneak in off the waitlist. I’d gladly pay 7.4k for sdsu, even for video, but 14.3k for ucsb seems like a ripoff. 7k a year savings, times 4 years is 28k, keep that invested, maybe have 50k in 5 years, enough to pay for half a year of dental school.

i want the little one to be a dentist. or an orthodontist. i’ll do reception[/quote]

Most people who get waitlisted get in to schools most of the time, because there is a fudge factor of x number of students that don’t accept and y number of students that later drop out. Every school I was waitlisted for ended up offering admissions either in the fall or spring semester, except MIT.
