ok this is weird as hell… i signed up for the waitlist and it says this:
Thank you for accepting our waitlist offer. Please be patient, as this process may take some time. We will notify you of our final admission decision by email and on this website no later than May 1.
No later than May 1

If you could ask a proper question I could probably help you out. A bunch of question marks with a misspelled “what” doesn’t really tell me what you’re confused about.
I think I understand LeReddit and the page’s phrasing is a little confusing to me as well. The page seems to be saying “We’ll let you know whether you are off the waitlist, or not, no later than May 1st” but I believe they really mean to say “We’ll start the PROCESS of deciding who comes off the waitlist BEGINNING May 1st . . . and going into June, July, etc, so please be patient.” I can’t imagine that they are going to make all the waitlist decisions on or before May 1st? I think they just phrased it badly?
I just saw that they edited the wording to the much more reasonable June 1st. So the May1st message was almost certainly a typo.
Now, instead of saying that they will tell you by May 1st, it says: “Thank you for accepting our waitlist offer. Please be patient, as this process may take some time. We will notify you of our final admission decision by email and on this website no later than June 1.”
Too bad, I was hoping they had some sort of magical way to resolve the waitlist on/before May 1!
