What would cause this?

I bet they start moving the WL this evening after 5pm. They usually move on Thursday early evening and didn't move last week.

I'd expect ever Thursday the month of June.


It didn't move.

Please quantify this remark. Would that be 5, 15, or 25? How elite is your school? Are you at one of the NYC science magnets?
