Seriously. There is no way either is worth $90K.

Well, no. But they are a relative bargain compared to the privilege of being amongst the masses at Michigan for 85k…

They use the waitlist as an enrollment management tool, even moreover when they have difficulty predicting yield and possibly accepted fewer in EA and RD to prevent overenrolling. It doesn't news to be a sign of issues.

Enrollment management consultants often fail. Bag algorithms.

Any Harvard waitlist movement?

Emory v Wash U. Congrats to your kid. He can’t go wrong with either one. Go with the better fit.

Family friend off the waitlist at Columbia last week.

Seeming like the endless waitlist right now.

Not yet.

Any news from UVA?

It feels like things are done at almost all schools. Reddit waitlist posts have calmed down significantly over the past 5 days and nothing at all yesterday.

I’m wondering about this, too. My DC has already found a roommate, been assigned a dorm, and selected classes at their back-up school. I’m not sure if they would bail out on their plan now if UVA lets them off the waitlist. UVA has been unusually quiet about the waitlist situation.

It's so odd. UVA went from initially saying waitlist status was expected to be resolved by 06/15 to...silence.

Not sure that mine would even switch at this point, but just looking for closure.

I really feel like if anything they (UVA) are figuring out OOS spots. Surely if they had in-state spots to offer they would have done so by now, knowing kids are well into making other plans.

I think UVA is like many schools this year---they were basically full after RD but they are stringing everyone along indefinitely in case the internationals can't come and a cascade of waitlist movement starts (from Harvard on down).

There were a few schools that either purposefully or in error went to the waitlist a lot but many others did take anyone at all.

Same. Mine is starting to really fall in love with their “2nd choice” school, which is a good thing - but UVA’s waitlist silence is frustrating. The old saying “love the school that loves you back” is true. The more time that passes, the more I think the committed school is better fit for my kid than UVA would be. It would be nice to have closure, though.
