<p>I’ve been reading other forums and I’ve noticed that some of the waitlists indicate that by joining the waiting list, you are agreeing to attend.</p>
<p>I don’t know what I’ve done since I’ve accepted both NYU and Barnard waiting lists. Someone please re-assure me that I haven’t done anything illegal.</p>
<p>if you are accepted off the waitlist, that definitely does not mean you are required to attend. that's why a lot of people write in their letters to the schools during the waiting period that if accepted, they will definitely attend.
however, you do not need to attend although i do think they expect a majority of students to do so.</p>
