[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD got this today from a SLAC for which she is on the waitlist: [i]Dear XXX, I'm reaching out because you previously shared your interest in remaining on the waiting list at XXX, and I'm delighted to share that we have space in the Class of 2030 to admit a small number of students. Please let me know if you remain interested by responding to this email by 9:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time on Tuesday, May 19. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Sincerely, XXX Director of Admission XXX College[/i] Am I right to read this as an acceptance off the waitlist? It is just phrased a little weirdly.[/quote] 100% an acceptance. They word it like that because they all care about yield, and they do not want to count it as an offer of acceptance unless the student indicates they definiteiy want to come. Ivy/T20 and more do it the same way. [/quote]
