Had just paid the deposit at Middlebury, but then got the waitlist call from Williams and made the switch! Wish they had called just 1 day prior.

My belief is that colleges already know the yield of a particular high school to evaluate this.

Heard about a Michigan waitlist offer today to a classmate of my kid.

Per reddit, they are exploding offers (expiring next day at 11:59pm).


They're all exploding offers. Just a matter if you have 48 hours, 72 or 96. That's usually the most you ever get.


The Ivies aren’t.


If they do, and some don’t move at all some years, it starts closer to May 15th.

Not yet, they sent a email a few weeks back to students on the waitlist advising May 15th or later

Remember folks, Vanderbilt fills 10% of its class with waitlisted kids so they can say that “their acceptance rate is lower than Yale.”
