Not necessarily. Since schools don't expect 100% yield, a student declining doesn't necessarily mean they go to the wait list.

Plus a lot of kids hoping for a waitlist offer have not committed yet. Most will wait to pay a deposit at a different school until the night before the deadline.

Even in this scenario where a student has committed/paid a deposit to School A - and then jumps ship when they get offer from waitlist School B? So some schools factor in/try to estimate how many admitted students who pay deposit will end up backing out? I guess that makes sense.

Yes, it is called “melt.”

I would be surprised if this were true. I heard from a good source that movement would not happen before May 15.

UCI took a few off the waitlist a few days ago...engineering major

CNU started rolling late last week...immediately after we sent $$$ to another school.

No regrets (although that would have been a slam dunk if it came in March).

Nothing for Cornell. A year ago, they started offering a few spots at this point in the month. But with the FAFSA debacle, I’m not sure anything is predictable.
