Has anyone heard about when to expect any movement?
It generally starts May 1.
That is what I figured. With such a large number of admitted students, I hope they get to the waiting list. Have they ever not gone to the waiting list?
I don’t know, but suspect that very few if any were taken from the waitlist last year, as I think the yield was higher than originally expected.
I don’t think they took any from the wait list last year. In fact I think they offered an extended time to decide to take a gap year since so many accepted. I hope for your sake it is different this year. Good luck!
Has anyone heard anything?
Two years ago, they went to the WL. On May 1.
Remember that because of its location, over enrolling presents a serious problem. – unlike schools that are in urban areas where they can work out a deal with nearby apartments or hotels to lease a floor or two for overflow, Colby doesn’t have this luxury. When the final date for decisions has passed, they’ll start making calls if the past is any indication.
Last year I think they did have a higher than expected yield, and as I recall, it was a problem.
