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



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.


Oh my! Was this in the guide, too? My DC paid deposit late. I didn’t know about this.


Yep. Look under “what happens if there aren’t enough rooms?” They pull kids onto a housing waitlist based on deposit date. You get assigned during summer melt, but will have no say about who you live with or where you live.

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


I believe that ALL waitlisted W&M kids have the option of enrolling in the spring.

Getting assigned a roommate (going random) isn't that bad of a situation--often times it makes for a more workable living relationships because you don't have BFF expectations.

I don’t know that your counselor is right. I know someone who called W&M Friday and asked and they said no decisions on waitlist yet. It would be surprising if both W&M and UVA don’t even pick up a handful from the waitlist. Chances are always slim of course even if they do.


Not going to the waitlist at all suggests that they either hit their number just right, or more likely, are over-enrolled.


Looking back over the last five years, both schools have pulled at least a small handful off the waitlist each year. Just saying that based on past data, there will likely be a few this year as well. Nothing to hold your breath about though.

I'm surprised that UPenn has to dip into its wait list. But I guess it is not as popular as the other Ivies.


I know a boy who got in both Penn and Cornell for cs, and committed to Cornell.
