You've Been Waitlisted To College. Now What?

Ivy League schools released their admissions decisions Thursday, and other elite institutions are set to notify students of their decisions on April 1 – on the heels of a college admissions scandal that has rocked higher education.

With rates of admission to the top crop of colleges and universities at a record low – many students likely didn't get into their No. 1 pick. Harvard on Thursday admitted a record-low of 4.5 percent of applicants to its class of 2023, while Brown University's rate dropped to 6.6 percent.
