I was put on the waitlist and accepted my spot. Does that mean I could potentially be called for enrollment for fall 2018 or does that mean I’m on the waitlist for conditional acceptance? Technically the 8000 accepted includes the people who were accepted and the people who got conditional acceptance.
The waitlist is for a real spot not conditional.
