On the waitlist for UCONN Storrs for Fall 2016 Admission (class of 2020)?? Please post if you hear anything about your status changing or hear of anyone else at your school receiving a status change. Please let us know if you were notified by phone call, email, letter, text, etc, what your major is, and anything else you can share for the rest of us waiting. Thanks!
A friend’s son got admitted off the waiting list. He got a letter on April 29. College of agriculture and natural resources.
Thank you for that info TLD1267. Last year it seems a small handful got notice late April, but most started hearing mid-May thru late May. Keeping fingers crossed for good news. I do know of someone last year who got a phone call, so it seems like it could be a call, an email, a letter. Who knows??
Has anyone heard of anyone getting off waiting list this week or last week? Getting nervous
My son is still waiting for a reply. College of Engineering. We’re giving up hope…
Hi there, I am also on the waitlist for CAS as a Bio major and I actually called UConn today to ask when they were sending out notifications. The admissions people were really nice and said they were definitely sending out answers next week.
Thx for the updates @jandandy and @falloutpanic!! I hope they tell us this week! My church is having a whole special lunch for all the Seniors this Sunday and you have to get up and say where you’re going, what you like about it, etc. I want to be authentic in my enthusiasm. BC let a bunch if people know last Friday, and UMASS Amherst let a ton of people know as well. Pleeease pray to the Husky spirits that they let us know this week!!!
I agree @Utahgirl and am currently in the same boat as well. All the seniors at my high school have the schools they’ll be going to written on pin ups and a few people, including me, don’t have anything written yet! I just want them to send out answers so I can finally relax!!
@Jandandy I know there is a spot for you since we declined UConn. Good Luck!
Thank you! We’re leaving it up to fate! Wishing everyone the best. If he doesn’t get in he can always transfer…
Soooo- this should be the week we all hear, according to what@falloutpanic was told by UCONN Admissions, and in line with what was told to Hartford Courant. That Courant reporter stated that she was told there were 300-500 on waitlist, but I think she misinterpreted. I think what was meant was that there’d be 300-500 coming OFF the waitlist. The article was about two weeks ago, and at that point UCONN would certainly have known exactly how many were on the waitlist, give or take 10%, because they manage these things quite well. In past years there have been at least 1200 accepting a spot on the list, so in a year of record applicants (36k according to Nathan Fuerst) it only makes sense that there’s at least that amount this year as well. In past years they’ve taken 20-80% from waitlist, so Nathan’s 300-500 figure mentioned to the Courant reporter HAD to be referring to the range of the number he’d be admitting from the waitlist, NOT to the number of folks actually on the waitlist. If that’s what is the case then it should be about 24-40%-ish this year, which seems logical based on historical data available. I hope all 300-500 hear next week that we are in fact Huskies!!!..especially those of us who have been as passionate about UCONN as we who have been communicating on College Confidential!! PLEASE post if you hear asap on the day you hear fir the rest of us, and post how you were informed (phone call, email, whatever), and which major, any $, and if you’re in state or out of state. Thank you all so much for supporting each other!!!
Still have not heard. Has anyone???
Nada!!. I’d think by end of week with Monday being holiday??? If we get in we’ll hear sonething soon, but if not admitted I don’t believe they reach out to tell you it’s a no go. I called today and they said they are still working on it, but truthfully I think it was not someone who really knew too much. I asked if they tell you you’re in by email, phone or portal, and she alluded to it probably being portal and to check there . Last year I know some were called. When I asked if we’d know by 6/1, she said “that’s the GOAL”. Goal is not a definitive word…but it will be what it will be. Keep praying or meditating or whatever keeps you calm!! It will be over one way or another soon!
Thanks so much…I’m going to call tomorrow and see if I can find out anything. 6/1 sounds so late if you get accepted… I’ll post what info I get…
Jandandy- anything?
Hi so this is what I found out when I called which is not that different from what you heard. The woman I talked to —she did not sound like a kid----said that we should hear by Friday…she said to check the portal for your status—did not sound like phone calls or emails were the method they were using—and that either way they follow up with a letter in the mail a couple of days later. I don’t know but I don’t get a good feeling about it…it’s just so late in the game…
I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!
Has anyone heard anything at all today? Please check your portal to see if anything has changed in regards to your waitlist status. Thanks! I guess it would make sense to find out tomorrow (Friday) after 5pm to give folks the chance to process everything over the long weekend. I would think there would then possibly be a round 2 to fill any admission offers given from the waitlist to folks that decide in the end not to take the offer after all. We shall see. Please everyone keep us all updated for those of us who really want a spot and have been waiting. Thanks so much!
heard yesterday via the U. Conn account and got accepted. very excited.
@peacelovejoy CONGRATS! Can you help us by answering the following 4 questions? Thanks so much. 1} What time did you hear? 2} Did they email you to let you know there’d been an update to your account, or did you have to just keep logging in yourself? 3} Are you in state or out? 4} Which major?
