<p>[collegeiscrazy13, my D received her letter. Waitlist for Fall, acceptance for Spring, received yesterday 3/14 in Georgia.]</p>
<p>Edited to add that my D’s letter also included the DC fall semester offer, since I just realized from the other thread that not all Spring admits were the same.</p>
<p>If you were wait-listed, does your online letter say you were accepted for spring? </p>
<p>I too was wait-listed, but my online letter says nothing about spring admission. I have yet to receive my hard copy letter.</p>
<p>@college4k was your daughter surprised at the Spring Admittance? or did she know before receiving letter that she was a spring admit?</p>
<p>@JRswish, yeah, I got into UMiami. I posted it earlier :)</p>
<p>I have been waitlisted too. How many applicants do they take from the waitlist?</p>
<p>I have been waitlisted too. How many applicants do they accept from the waitlist?</p>
