Waitlist movement in mid-July

Just a curious mom of a HS junior.

Wouldn’t you have put a deposit by now? Would you be on the hook for tuition for both schools if you get off a wait list in the summer.

Yes you put a deposit where you intend to go. You lose the deposit if you switch. You are not in the hook for tuition until you matriculate. Many students switch schools due to waitlist movement. If you for some reason sign an off-campus lease, then that’s on you to resolve.

Correct. Luckily not too much
More worries now is to look for a good roommate.

I bet some of these schools have been holding their breath for Harvard and other ivies to finish since that might mean cancellations for them.

My child is on the waitlist at a top SLAC...waiting for trickle down to see if he gets off....

I hope schools that waitlisted many applicants end up scrambling at the last minute to fill empty seats. It would serve them right.

This is a strange take. It's not like the colleges that will go the WL because Harvard went late are gleeful about this happening deep into the summer.

Per Reddit, Harvard waitlist has been moving in the past few days.

The SLACs seem to have had miniscule waitlist movement so far. I wonder if some are overenrolled. They might not move just because a few get off of Ivy waitlists.

It's been moving like one kid per day. Minuscule numbers.

UCs waitlisted about the same amount as they normally do but then let very few by UC trends off the waitlist. UCB supposedly took no one off the waitlist.
