<p>This was posted on WA for my son today</p>

<p>We have carefully reviewed your application to the University of Michigan. At this time, we are unable to offer you a place in the term for which you have applied. Please know that this decision is the result of the competition for spaces rather than a reflection of your ability to succeed in college. It is possible that space may become available after the enrollment deposit deadline of May 1 has passed. If you choose, you may remain on our wait list for available spaces. You may accept or decline our offer to be placed on the wait list by clicking "Respond Now" to complete your decision. Please respond to our waitlist offer by May 15th.</p>

<p>The torture continues...........</p>

<p>Vodad, don't count on getting off the waitlist. From past years, the acceptance rate off the waitlist is close to 0%. I'd start weighing your other options. Sorry bro. I was waitlisted too along with a lot of this forum (its a nice way of rejecting us).</p>

<p>They did not mean for you to read that as "wait 30 more days." Make other plans, make a commitment to another great school your son was accepted to. </p>

<p>If your son wants to be placed on the waitlist, great. Perhaps some people are going to get off the waitlist, and maybe your son will end up being one of them. But don't do any more waiting around. It might not happen.</p>
