[quote=Anonymous]Really depends on the school, though in general you won't see nearly as much movement this early as you will later in the summer. If you are in a decent waitlist spot (look at historical data to get a sense) and eager to see movement, don't get discouraged if lists don't move much now or even next month. If you are really interested in a school and far enough up the waitlist for it to be a reasonable shot, just assume you will need to wait until August to know if you got in. Or even September or October, though you have to decide for yourself if you'd be willing to move that late.

A lot of people get frustrated when they don't see waitlists move at all this time of year but if you are near the top of a waitlist and schools typically make at least as many offers as your waitlist number, don't let lack of movement now discourage you. We've done the lottery several times for multiple kids and we ALWAYS get offers in August and September. We've never received a waitlist offer earlier than July, and that was the year that we had a pretty good master number, too. It's just very normal for lists not to move much until after June 15.[/quote]
