Curious. Trying to gauge #'s for each school’s waitlist. What’s your major?

2

are you guys doing priority if you’re on other waitlists too?

3

Might do priority. No downside. Not sure if the waitlist will move though, especially with SCS. I’ll put myself on the list though.

4

do you guys think dietrich will have openings?

This is my only waitlist school. It’s either CMU from the waitlist or almost free ride from Lehigh :woman_shrugging:t3:
Can’t hurt you to do priority. So I would do it

It depends on the folks rejecting CMU offer. as I read from CMU last year it was >100 who got off the waitlist. so keep your hopes up.

Just got an email, which says “Right now, it’s still uncertain if we’ll admit additional candidates from the Waiting List.”

Hmm… that sounds like they got enough enrollments that they may not take any candidates from the waitlist!

We just got an email from CMU asking to write if "you have any other accomplishments that you would like us to consider "

@Willwin - thats awesome. All the best! We didn’t get any such email but got a generic one which noted that the decisions on waitlist will start on May 6th…

17

So it sounds like people on waitlist are getting different types of emails?

have you submitted the waitlist update form thing before you got this email, or are they asking for additional accomplishments after you’ve sent the update form?

It also depends on the folks taking gap year as well especially for last year’s case. This year, I doubt fewer take gap year so the chance for waitlist is slim.

Has anyone gotten gift grant aid on their financial aid offer? Do you think it means anything if you got it?
