Our school counselor said W&M and UVA reached their numbers and are unlikely to go to their WL this year.



Reached their numbers or over-enrolled? My DD is going to WM and the Tribe Guide says that if they over-enroll, some kids won’t be offered a housing choice slot and will be put into any rooms that open up during summer melt (likely no roommate choice). Kids who don’t get to choose housing will be the last kids to pay their deposit.

Wondering how likely the 5/1 11:59pm kids are to get screwed in the housing process.


Oh my! Was this in the guide, too? My DC paid deposit late. I didn’t know about this.


Getting assigned a roommate (going random) isn't that bad of a situation--often times it makes for a more workable living relationships because you don't have BFF expectations.


The problem with the way WM does it is they put your kid in any open bed. So, you might get an upperclassman for a roommate, not be in a freshman dorm, etc.

Stop. People are not going to do that. There’s no benefit to them in doing so.


What’s the downside? The benefit is that it helps others who are also on the waitlist.


If you are on the waitlist for that school, you’d obviously know. So there’s no point in saying which school.


DP: No, if you're on the WL you don't know whether they are pulling off it unless others post that they have been offered a spot. It helps those who are waiting temper their expectations. That said, I know why people won't -- it's far too disclosing.


That’s not true. My son is on the WL for Ivy and we were told they are indeed pulling. We just don’t know if he will be one of them. So yeah….

Following to add to any confusion the school emailed us that they were pulling from the WL. Not from hearsay.

Nice! Is study abroad with Verto the only option or can DC take fall courses at another college or community college as well and then start in spring?

DC could take courses elsewhere and apply to have credits transferred to Case, or could just take the fall off. But the Verto courses are automatically transferred to Case Western.
