Yes bc it moved last year…. And you don’t get a call without an update.

Think of it as another why me at Duke letter. Update re summer plans, final grades, end of school year happenings

You generally get an email that says you have an update in your portal.

Or sometimes you get a call or email from the admissions officer and they say "if we were to offer you a space would you take it?"

Almost always it's the first (email about a portal update) but my daughter had the second happen last year as well.

Tough to imagine admitting someone at the final stage who hasn't bothered to express continued interest - I'd encourage her to do so.

WM never does, VT maybe? But probably not with their overadmitting issues in years past


VT won't be before 5/1 either.


My friend’s kid got off the VT waitlist!

U Chicago has been moving last week.

BU is calling up our private school to ask school counselor which students they think would accept off the waitlist if given an offer.

UC waitlists start moving mid April to May. DS got waitlisted at all the mid tiers UCSD UCD, UCSB and UCI and then got off all waitlists in the rolling waves.
