Yes, he has to respond by 5-15

Does anyone got off the waitlist of mechanical engineering or computer science or second major choice? Thanks!

143

Is $2k deposit required? So u loose it if u clear another waitlist ?

144

WOW-that is great news @sebastianp3 . You hoped for the spot and you got it! Congratulations!

145

The regular deposit amount for May 1 enrollment deadline was $250. Is the deposit amount more (like $2K) for the folks offered spots from the WL? If so, why?

146

Does anyone know if they are notifying you via email, or do you just have to keep checking your portal?

147

I havenā€™t heard of anyone getting off waitlist in engineeringā€¦has anyone here heard?

Nope, nothing yet. I hope engineering comes out within the next 1-2 days

Some people received emails while others didnā€™t. I have a couple friend who got off the SB waitlist for bio and they didnā€™t receive emails. They just randomly checked their portal

Same question as @fingerscrossed83 ā€” is it a message to your regular (yahoo, gmail, etc) account?..or do you need to keep checking the portal. And, when you check the portal, is it easy to find where exactly the message should be. Donā€™t want to miss a message!! :slight_smile:

151

I hope so, too! Iā€™ve heard of a bunch of kids that got in yesterday, but nothing in engineering, so fingers crossed!

Usually, it should just pop up on your screen when you log into your portal saying, ā€œCongratulationsā€¦ā€

Iā€™m assuming theyā€™re releasing STEM majors this week but canā€™t say for sure because there seems to be no pattern.

154

Reading above it seems like people got in for Econ, Pre Communications, Pre Political Science, Undeclared, History and someone said a couple friends got into Bio. I wonder if thatā€™s it for the wave .Hoping more come out. My daughter on waitlist for aquatic biology.

Thanks for summarizing well whatever happened here for the past few days.

156

If the deposit now is $2k for people off the waitlist - I guess they want to discourage people from jumping on to next acceptance off another waitlist.

157

What? Is this true?

158

Not true, my deposit was $250. Also @CC7772021 thanks a ton! Maybe your daughter giving up her spot gave me the chance :sweat_smile: :raised_hands:
