<p>I was postponed, so I guess that means waiting until end of March? Seriously, how many do they put on the postpone list? Is that the same as waitlist? Probably best to to move on elsewhere?</p>

435

<p>Postponed is not the same as waitlist.</p>

<p>Many students are admitted each year after being postponed. In comparison, often zero students are admitted from the waitlist.</p>

436

<p>Here are the FAQs regarding postponement:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/UW_Postponed_Applicant_FAQ.pdf[/url]”>http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/UW_Postponed_Applicant_FAQ.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

437

<p>So do they tell you if you are waitlisted? I don’t see that as an admission decision on their website…it’s confusing</p>

438

<p>I believe waitlisting happens later in spring like this to postponed students: admit, waitlist offer, or deny.</p>

439

<p>“When our admission counselors review an application, they make one of three admission decisions—admit, deny, or postpone. A postponed decision means a student is neither admitted nor denied at the time of the initial review. The application is held for further consideration. If a student receives an invitation to join the wait list, he or she has a chance to be admitted if space becomes available after May 1. Only viable candidates are offered a spot on the wait list.”</p>
