Official Waitlist Thread - Washington and Lee Class of 2021

Did anyone who got off the waitlist need financial aid?

@Emsmom1 4.0 W GPA, 3.7 UW, 31 ACT lots of extra curriculars and community service, showed a lot of interest, applied RD

@Syrupandpancakes thanks for the info! Are you full pay or did you need financial aid?

I did not need any aid @Emsmom1. @allie445566 did your GHQ update? mine has not so I don’t know when my deposit is due

I just got an email from W&L asking me to log in at 8 pm to view an update to my portal. I’m guessing they are probably going to ask us to wait longer or that they’ve stopped taking people from the waitlist. Anyone else get this email?

I also got an email like that! @uditjain

got the same email. I visited the campus in April after I got waitlisted, but I didn’t think I get in

My nephew just got the same email. I wonder what it is. I guess it’s not an acceptance off the waitlist since they are calling people who got off. Anyone else get the email?

@goblue8721 Hmm yea im guessing they sent this to all wait listed students. Most likely asking if we’re still interested since it’s May 1st and a lot of people would have decided where they are going. Or telling us that they’ve closed the waitlist.

Yea, I got that email as well. Have you guys sent a letter to indicate your interest? I haven’t done that yet. I hope it’s not too late to do that :frowning:

I got the call removing me from the waitlist but I also got the email about the update to the status of my portal so don’t worry everyone!

I sent email to them every week, and I visited the campus, talked to undergraduate students. I hope they will take me off the waitlist

just checked my portal, I dont see any updates.

Same, I did’t see any updates

I don’t see anything on mine either!

Just got the update button- they want to know if my nephew wants to stay on the wait list over summer.

I’m just going to say yes, why not!

Yes same thing. They also said that “our institutional financial aid resources are fully committed to currently enrolled students.”. But they said that although unlikely, its possible that that could change. I definitely need aid to attend W&L so I am not sure if I should stay on the waitlist or get off it.

Do you guys find the simple form? I clicked it but it doesn’t show up

Is anyone else having trouble getting to the form??
