<p>Can anyone tell me what this means? Does it mean that they don't start reviewing applications until May 1st (Deadline)? Or does it mean something else?</p>
<p>They can't know who's getting in off the wait list till they know who's actually coming to the school, the deadline for that being May 1st. So yes, that's what it means.</p>
<p>Hmmm perhaps.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention is for Transfer applicants.</p>
<p>wont1 i think you got it exactly. it seems to be that they'll wait to look at apps and then the rest of the slots will be filled on a rolling basis</p>
<p>it just means you hear back randomly, i know some transfers who were accepted very early after the deadline, i myself was not accepted until mid-june, and i applied in FEBRUARY.</p>
<p>so don't stress out, it may take a longgg time, acceptances seem to be handed out randomly, it's not like at some schools where all acceptees are notified early, or where you are notified in the order they receive your application.</p>
