CC has a thread with all the schools that have announced a June 1 deadline. I expect it will continue to grow.

We got note from Lewis and Clark. Moving to June 1. Not our first pick, but if it was and I was waiting on financials, I’d appreciate the time

My kid has gotten a few emails officially changing the date to June 1. Doesn't do much good unless it's all of them though.

Deferrals too. This is such a crock of sh*t

At least deferrals know that they will hear something in March. Deferral may feel like a waitlist, but the two situations are very different.


Some deferrals get waitlisted!!!! It's not over

this is what OP said pretty much exactly. but a 'backstop' from a private college is not the same as getting the actual data from Pell etc

All waitlisted students, in any year, need to anticipate that acceptance off the WL is unlikely. Waitlisted students aren't actually waiting because the vast majority will never get good news from the school that waitlisted them.

We will have to wait and see what happens with the FAFSA mess. If students have their aid packages by early to mid April, they should be able to decide by May 1. Yeah, that's short, but it's not like they can't even think about their options before the aid package comes.
