<p>So I’ve been waitlisted at Brown and I’m wondering around what time waitlisted students hear from colleges. I’m not necessarily expecting a call, but I’m on a few other waitlists and I’m just wondering when most students hear back. I am also wondering how much time students then have to commit to the college after getting accepted off of the waitlist. Many thanks!</p>
<p>The earliest colleges usually go to the WL is mid May. It may go in waves – with other batches in subsequent weeks – but there is no predicting. Usually students are given a week to reply.</p>
<p>if you search through old posts, the group of us waitlisted in 2005 posted a lot more than more current applicants have. I was notified in the first wave on May 17th and had 2 weeks to respond (if I recall).</p>
