Thank you! I honestly don't remember what major was put on the Brown application - not CS or Engineering, though. Sent a LOCI on 4/8

Congrats. Brown said WL would not move until after 5/1. What happened to make it move so early?

I've now heard of 3 people who've gotten into Brown this week off WL. And Duke is moving too. And Rice and UChicago.....

Why so early? Are families concerned with the high price tags?

Its not that early. The early mover gets 1st pick. Duke WL will close before May 1.

Seems like some first mover behavior to beat the other waitlists.

All male.

DP. Prior to May 1, colleges have a sense of what their yield is looking like by tracking and comparing the current rate of enrollment deposits compared to prior years. Enrollment management consultants are paid handsomely to help them with this tracking.

Brown typically does not move its WL until after May 1, so that is presumably why they told that to WL students. But, every year is different.
