It’s normal for schools to call to check if the kid wants the offer. Some don’t. Many do. Calm down.


What a bizarre term. In May (?!)

Confirmed waitlist movement from DC's school:

Offer of acceptance to students on waitlist:

MIT (one offer)
NYU (two offers)
Emory (one offer)

"Whisper waitlist" or ED3: verbal offer and actual offer only when student verbally commits in advance:

Williams
WashU

Lot of schools handle the wait list this way. Schools want the list to move quickly.




Yeah, there's nothing low key about this.

They really want to overadmit a larger class don't they


There has been recent cycles where they didn’t really go to the waitlist at all, so no.


Every year the incoming class has gone up. I'm sure they don't want this year to be the exception.
