Waitlist movement

Why would you just make this up? We can see in the CDS that they definitely accepted 45 from the waitlist last year. Why come on here and post inaccurate info that’s easily fact checked?

While schools like Northwestern and Dartmouth have said they will keep the WL open through June, but not likely to move further (or at all in D case) unless international acceptances deteriorate.

The bolded, is this just your personal guess about Northwestern, or have you heard something from admissions? Northwestern said the waitlist would be open through June but didn't say more than that in their reconfirmation request.

NP:
Dartmouth hasn't gone to WL at all this year. Our counselor called and they said they don't expect to unless forced to due to international withdrawals.

And, Northwestern has gone to the WL a LOT already (several from our private have gotten in from WL); our counselor said they aren't expected to pull further unless their total #s start to drop.

Our school counselor said there will be movement into July and August this year.

At this point it would be full pay to Northwestern if one was to come off the waitlist right? Yuck! I also imagine most of these kids on the waitlist have already selected a darn good school to attend.

In prior years DS got merit aid from schools that WL him. R they have money and it is likely that kids who turn them down were offered aid, then it becomes available again.

Dartmouth just updated WL recipients, they are still not sure if any movement will occur as will be another few weeks before they know. But want confirmed interest again! What a joke.

They must be hedging intl students. But you would think Trump U vs 2 would be safe from chaos. That is why they hired Raymer to grease the corrupt wheels of current regime.

From what I have seen, Michiga is going REALLY REALLY deep on its waitlist. Very unprecedented.

I think a lot of schools are doing this because they just don’t know if international students will enroll/return for the fall semester. Meanwhile, they are keeping students on waitlists hoping that they will accept if given an offer - and turn down schools that they have already committed to. The longer schools wait to move their waitlists, the more likely students will stick with their plans. Students are already into finding roommates, choosing dorms, picking classes, etc.

Oh stop it. It's probably just your school.

Maybe DMV waitlist if kids got better merit aid elsewhere. That's believable.

I think W school kids would be a good fit at Michigan but there aren't many of them there. As said, OOS is very expensive and aid is scarce.

It looks like the WL closed a few weeks ago, but a very small # were WL from the waitlist (into a new summer waitlist). And they have now gone to the summer waitlist? If so, I do think this is significant and telling about the uncertainty and movement we are likely to see in the rest of the selective schools this summer.
