<p>Do all wait listed students who were admitted accept a place?</p>
<p>@lime20002001 no, because they might be accepted off a waitlist at another school; like someone said some people stay on just as a “trophy acceptance”; and some people who get “z-listed” might prefer to start in the fall rather than take a gap year so they turn the spot down</p>
<p>And others would love to go there, but the financial aid might not be enough. That is why I am praying that if I am admitted, I receive sufficient financial aid. Fingers crossed :S 
</p>
<p>Madd06 my point exactly, I don’t think the % of each class derived by kahmerve from the wait list from 2004 to 2008 is accurate as it probably overstates the actual % (and places available) for the very reasons you cite </p>
<p>Do you think waitlist acceptances could come out at the same time as transfer acceptances? Transfer decisions are going to come out on Tuesday…</p>
<p>@astrogirl they are gonna be coming out in batches throughout the month and possibly into June</p>
<p>There is no reason to believe undergraduate waitlist decisions and transfer decisions are at all correlated. </p>
<p>I know. I meant the first wave of acceptances. Of course they aren’t correlated. I was just throwing a random date this week. </p>
<p>Yes agreed. I just meant there’s no reason why the dates would be correlated either. Disclaimer- I’m not an expert. </p>
<p>Exactly 
I’m not an expert either! Lol we’ll just have to wait, hope for the best and see! :D</p>
<p>Did anyone talk to the admission office? Would they be willing to tell you what your chances are?</p>
<p>When are the results due release??? already getting sick #:-S </p>
<p>I would think it better not to call them and ask what your chances are… Just doesn’t seem “right” for some reason. </p>
<p>Do you expect the decisions today? any feelings?</p>
<p>I hope it’s soon! Has anyone heard anything yet?</p>
<p>No… The suspence is killing me ! </p>
<p>In 2010 waitlist post, somebody wrote I’ve just got off the waitlist on 13th of may. So…</p>
<p>@Kahmerve…I hope you not playing with our feelings here…you mean tomorrow???</p>
