What is "Z list"? DS is still on the waitlist for Harvard. We're in mid-atlantic, stem major. Have not heard a thing.

Special cases who are given admission if they agree to a gap year first.

So does that mean it's over for the rest of the students who have not heard back? When does Harvard usually send out their final rejection letters to the remaining WL students?

Someone on Reddit- 1 person.

Still on WL. They have not sent out the “closed” email yet. Still on Harvard’s WL too. Some ppl got rejected from the WL last month, others remain on it.

Newbie question- will colleges deny people off the waitlist when it closes or do people remain in an infinite waitlisted status?

Closing the WL while you are still on it without an offer = rejection. That is why WL are often a soft reject aka "denial with distinction" at least for t50s.

No. Some T10s cull it. They reject some while keeping some on. They sometimes pull as late as July and August. It’s closed for the people they rejected.

Being on a waitlist is hard. Kids get emotional after accepting another school.

Personally I think pre-med with WashU full pay is fine, but not with Emory full pay. But anything other than pre-med is not okay with either full pay.

Why not Emory? It seems strong in a major metro area with hospital right on campus, CDC, research available etc.? It seems very strong with pre-law, pre-med, strong undergrad business school for the region.

it's not as good a school. Generally bad at stem.

In a private Facebook group, I am in parents complain about Emory’s climate (competitive, cliquey and uber pre-professional) and how some students try to transfer/leave

All premed schools are competitive. It's medicine. And Emory has a 96% retention rate. 98% amoung domestic students. Clearly, no one there actually knows what they're talking about.

Emory's 6 year graduaiton rate is an abysmal 91%. So 9% end up doing something else.

Why you assuming those are all transfers, and 91% is abysmal? You need therapy. Its line with its peers. Vandy is 92%, USC 90%, WashU 94%

seriously dumb. usc and vandy have DI athletes who might turn pro

Sure, 10% or 375 USC students are going pro. Thats where the 10% are going.
