Wiliams & Mary? I keep hearing that they are not moving on waitlist this year.


Williams is the top SLAC. Different than W&M

I thought the HYP moved after the 15th, no? I see some movement in many of the lower Ivies, lots of Duke admit on the commit webpages but have not seen any of the HYPSM.

I don't think any of the Ivies have moved yet, there have been some rumors about Brown but looks questionable. I suspect they did a better job anticipating yield and the international issues that happened last year


Brown hasn’t moved. I think only Cornell and Yale so far.


Yale has definitely not moved.


I understand if you know a school’s WL has definitely moved but how would you know if it has “definitely not moved” unless you are the AO? Y’all making shit up


Because her kid is obviously #1 on the waitlist. Only way it makes sense that her kid did get in…


Y'all sound insane. lol

DD’s friend got off the UVA waitlist a few days ago, was given 72 hours. He accepted. He had been an ED deferral, then WL.

Both LSA and Kinesiology from what we’ve seen.

Well, YES. You can’t be deposited at two colleges at the sane time. You put down deposit and secure spot and new school and then immediately notify/withdraw from the first one.


You email admissions.
many have a withdraw or cancel button in the portal


Some don’t. We had to actually email.
