Exactly. Your kid can opt out of the waitlist and move on. But, if other students want to hold onto a sliver of hope until the last possible moment, then so be it. Not to mention, these are unprecedented times right now with what’s happening in higher education generally, to include a lot of uncertainty on the international student front. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with schools continuing to make offers from the waitlist if spots open up.
