I know some people here say that if youre on a waitlist, dont expect to get off it anytime soon because chances are very slim, but is that the same with financial aid waitlists for schools you were accepted at?
Pretty much. There’s only so much in the FA budget, so in order to get off the FA waitlist, people with FA awards need to decline.
I think the difference is that for the FA WL, the school truly wants u.
On the admissions WL, u don’t know if the reason is that it’s a “weasel rejection” (school doesn’t want to offend) or the school is simply short on beds.
