I’ve already accepted my waitlist option. Hopefully most of us get in.

And for 2019 it was
Waitlist Opt ins: 4,015
Waitlist Admits: 1,363
Which is about 34%.
Not to discourage people but I’m just saying that is a huge difference so tbh I don’t know how to feel, but definitely good luck to everyone!

As late as June 15. It’s iffy since like you’d already be SIR’d to a different school and probably have already paid for housing and board.
More stats incoming…
Fall 2014 Applicants:
4,600+ waitlist offers
58% opt-ins (~2,300)
257 admits (~11.2% waitlist admittance)
Fall 2015 Applicants:
6,100 offers
3,700 opt-ins
2,762 admits (~75% waitlist admittance)
Yeah, it is quite variant so we just have to hope it is in the 75% range again this year. Also for the decisions, I saw lots of people in the Class of 2024 decisions get waitlisted on the 26th of March and then get their acceptances in mid-April, but yes as late as June 15 is what all schools say.

If we get end up getting accepted off the waitlist and have already committed to another school, can we rescind our offer or is it just taking a bet to hope we get accepted?

Waitlisted too. Ugh
Rescind the SIR? Yea you can do that. The $250 is nonrefundable though for the SIR you sent to the first school.
Daughter waitlisted
3.5 UW/3.8 weighted
Undeclared- Life Science
We already accepted the waitlist option but what does the “Make My Decision” button mean?
Hey, so after I had accepted to op in for waitlist I got a window that said I will be emailed with more information in four days. Did anyone else get this message? I was waitlisted for mechanical engineering.

We got the same message, not sure what it means.
I’m also wondering what the make my decision button means.
Oh you just click on it and you can op into the waitlist

Yeah its meant for those that choose to opt in at a later time. If you opt in immediately through the pop up notification then you’re set! Good luck to your daughter and everyone else
