It’s a safety for a lot of wealthy dmv kids.

The chart of numbers doesn't seem to support that. They go to the waitlist every year. There are three "low" years, but other than that, they make over 100 offers every year.

Seems like a large number, but it's only 3% of those on the waitlist.

My student didn’t apply to UVA, but I appreciate this level of transparency.


How many are usually admitted from the waitlist. I wonder if this will be like a Michigan waitlist year for them?

5/5/2025 Update: On Monday, May 5, we offered admission to 260 students on the waiting list for first-year admission to the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering.

5/1/2026 Update: On Friday, May 1, the University extended 19 offers of admission to students on the waiting list for first-year admission to the School of Architecture. Students who receive an offer will be notified by email and can view their updated status in the MyUVA Application Portal.


There’s a chart on that page under the how many question. Shows the numbers from many years.

Do they send an email? Is it also supposed to show up in the application portal?
that’s what it says at the top of the page

They will take a lot from the waitlist, don’t worry. They lose all cross-admits to Ivies/Stanford/MIT/Duke/Chicago/Caltech


Troll response. Their acceptance off the waitlist is around 3%, they don’t have to play the same 3 ED round game as UChicago to fill seats. I personally know students on the current WL who would take NU over a lower Ivy, Duke and UChicago.


TL;DR

“Here at Northwestern, our panties always stay twisted.”

NU moms wouldn’t constantly talk about and bash UChicago if UChicago wasn’t better than NU. And I say this as someone not affiliated with either school.

Insecure NU parent response.


No, it's not. Seriously, are only crazy people on this board? DC would have chosen NU over all those schools too.


Yes, it is. There are a ton of Northwestern parents on this forum that whine like toddlers whenever anyone criticizes Northwestern. It’s weird, and reveals some underlying insecurity amongst Northwestern parents. It’s probably because Northwestern is your best bet for an unhooked, full-pay “standard strong” kid looking to ED to a school that doesn’t have anything memorable about it.
