Did anyone get a waitlist letter specific to TFT? Assuming the waitlist letter is for TFT since son applied there but not sure if it’s TFT or arts and sciences or both?

My son was waitlisted this evening. Question: There is a questionnaire he has been asked to fill out. What is more important, taking time on his response, or getting his response in quickly, in case it’s a first come first served list?

Honestly both. The quicker he submits it the better, and the better the answers are the better. I would aim for something early next week. The waitlist isnt first come first serve but it does show demonstrated interest doing it sooner.

I was waitlisted tonight at UCLA. While they are at my top choice, if I accept my spot on the waitlist but get in somewhere else I really like, do I HAVE to attend UCLA if a spot opens up? I know a lot of ifs here. While UCLA is my top choice, I applied to some insane reach schools that if I got into I’d have to look a bit more into. Really just asking if this is legally binding me to UCLA.

No, you don’t have to accept an offer if you get one in the future. Depending on when you get one, it may have compressed timeframe to decide.

I applied to TFT but I’m curious if they will personally contact us… I interviewed a few weeks ago and they emailed me saying that their decisions would be out end of march/early april

Hi there. My daughter submitted a letter for the wait list right away. She said she noticed she can edit it until April 15 and realized she wants to add something to it. Is it ok to go back in and update it once she’s submitted? Or is it too late once she submitted it, in that they may not see her updated letter? Thank you so much for all your help!
