UPenn?


Private or public school kid?


Why does it matter? Especially when there's such a disparity among private schools.

My DC got an email from UChicago this evening saying they did not make it, but to keep them in mind for grad school. Well, it's good to finally know.

Stop. People are not going to do that. There’s no benefit to them in doing so.


What’s the downside? The benefit is that it helps others who are also on the waitlist.


If you are on the waitlist for that school, you’d obviously know. So there’s no point in saying which school.

DP: No, if you're on the WL you don't know whether they are pulling off it unless others post that they have been offered a spot. It helps those who are waiting temper their expectations. That said, I know why people won't -- it's far too disclosing.

Our school counselor said W&M and UVA reached their numbers and are unlikely to go to their WL this year.

I know several W&M waitlist kids were offered spring admission. Did they also have a WL that didn't offer this option?

I’ve heard of a number of kids getting off the Penn waitlist yesterday.

All W&M waitlist kids are offered spring admission. Have to take community college courses in the Fall. Sucks.

Isn't the spring admission something every WL student can choose? It's the semester abroad or affiliated college option.

My kid got off Wash U waitlist. Throws a wrench in our plan. Already committed to another Top 20 so not sure what they will decide.

Reached their numbers or over-enrolled? My DD is going to WM and the Tribe Guide says that if they over-enroll, some kids won’t be offered a housing choice slot and will be put into any rooms that open up during summer melt (likely no roommate choice). Kids who don’t get to choose housing will be the last kids to pay their deposit.

Wondering how likely the 5/1 11:59pm kids are to get screwed in the housing process.
