And everyone knows that if it’s on reddit, it’s true!
Who posted? What was their source? Maybe link to it?

Seems like many posting on reddit with recent waitlist admissions to UMich are finding it not affordable, so maybe there will be another wave soon. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

My DC just got off Emory University waitlist. We will visit this week. Did anyone hear any waitlist movement from WashU and Carnegie Mellon?

Columbia is not a safe environment for Jewish students at present.

Mine was on the dartmouth wl last year. It's so painful. To have that hope and to not be able to make plans. Throwing that LOCI over the fence and hearing crickets until you get a final update with no. It's really harsh.

Any idea of which major? We are waiting on engineering.
PP - one of the more competitive majors but not engineering.
Another VT Waitlist admit. In state from FCPS into Pamplin.
Congrats!!

Harsh but it's how they do things.
This seems kinder than letting those on WL remain in limbo. Easier to embrace the selected without the "what if" still present.
Absolutely. The sooner you know you’re no longer in contention, the better.

Yes, that’s right. WL students are organized into categories (arts, female stem major, students from a given country or state, whatever…) Once a given category is full, you get a letter that the WL is closed. It is targeted.
Chatter is that the first wave was legacies, next wave will begin to address any academic or demographic holes.
I read private school full pay, but there is probably significant overlap.
I thought it was mostly Brearley - any other schools?
