<p>It is waaaaaay too early to predict the final outcomes of waiting list admissions. The fact that some schools have started simply indicates that it is part of their usual enrollment strategies. There are plenty of perennial under-admitters that have yet to make announcements. The domino effects caused by the most selective schools have yet to impact the lower ranked schools. </p>
<p>We are looking at MONTHS of movements; not days!</p>
<p>xiggi: you do have to admit that some of these are “moving” earlier than in previous years though…</p>
<p>Any news on Vandy?</p>

Note to add a quote from Dean J directly from her blog:

<p>Case Western has gone to waitlist. My daughter received a call today, but really wants to stay with the school she has already committed to.</p>

<p>Not sure about the ones who have in mind. </p>
<p>Again, there are schools that made the extensive use of the waiting lists, especially when combined with a dynamic ED recruitment, part of their enrollment strategy. WL admissions offer wonderful yield protection crutches as the process can be used to inch toward a 100% yield on offers. For some, such as Duke or Middlebury, it seems that announcing untenable low admission rates in April presents an irresistible attraction.</p>
<p>Fwiw, the WL movements are real and early, but also totally expected. My comments were about attempting to draw conclusions from the early announcements. Schools can come late to the party and announce a large number of WL admits.</p>
<p>^^agreed…</p>
<p>The more selective schools in the list above may have only accepted one or two outliers as well. I think this may be the case for Dartmouth and Columbia as there does not appear to have been more than one report at each. I suspect the crystal ball will get a little less fuzzy in the next 3-9 days.</p>
<p>Seattle University has gone to their waitlist–I got a call from them today.</p>

<p>UVa announced today there will be very few people chosen from the waiting list, and none for engineering.</p>
<p>Surprised this list is so small. But I guess it is early.</p>
<p>Thanks mombbg. We’re hoping for some good news. We’ve been doing the status check all day but nothing has changed. Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I can’t find where I saw it, but I’m sure I’ve seen it stated that wait list admissions are not counted when reporting yield. (Can someone confirm?) They are included, at least for some schools, in determining the final admit rate.</p>

<p>Marquette went to their waitlist a couple of weeks ago.</p>
<p>Hey, has anyone heard from University of Delaware. My daughter was waitlisted to 4 of her top choice schools. She has since been accepted from 3 before may 1st, but nothing from delaware. Any news from them??</p>
<p>morrismm: the admissions offices were not open on Sunday so in essence we are only 4 days out from decision day…and many of these starting “pulling last week”…have patience; it will def get bigger</p>
