Has anyone heard news/updates about OOS waitlist movement? Just curious!

Same at our school - usually 3-5 but this year they only took two athletes (early) and w/l everyone else. Iām hoping they donāt want to poison the well with our school and will take at least one more, hopefully two. That said, Iām thrilled and relieved that my son will deposit and be very happy to go to what was his second choice.

Decisions just came out two weeks ago. Going to have to wait a bit longer for the waitlist.

@sushiritto i read somewhere on here that thereās been some waitlist movement for OOS? Have you been seeing that as well?
My daughterās Michigan portal looks different as of today as well. Keeping our fingers crossed for some good news!
How does the portal look different?
She said the interface and layout has changed for her. Iām not sure of the specifics. Just wondering if thereās any portal astrology happening.
I donāt believe Iāve seen any WL movement, but for some mentions of Kinesiology applicants being offered or are being considered for summer or winter starts.
There was an acceptance by someone who applied RD and got into Ross above but thatās not WL movement.
Again, I could be misremembering. And of course CC is a very tiny sample.

Hey everyone! I was waitlisted recently, and am really hoping to be accepted. My counselor has said that it wouldnāt hurt to write an email to my admissions officer with an update on my activities and to emphasize my interest. Do any of you think this might hurt my chances of being accepted?

@sushiritto can I send you a message to you only. Cant seem to find how to do it
Click on my name and then click on the message box in the right hand corner of the pop up screen.
Unless it is a big change, it is not going to make any difference at UMICH. They already know who the candidate is. So their guideline is not to reach out to them.
Commiserating: anyone else have a kid who is nowhere with college decision with 8 days to go?

Me too. All the schools I got into I toured and didnāt love but the schools I got waitlisted at (ie UM) or rejected at I loved. So basically choosing which one is the least bad until I can transfer or hopefully get off a waitlistš

Good luck! Hopefully the lightbulb will go off this weekend and a clear decision will emerge for all who are still undecided (and checking the Michigan portal daily to see if there is any movement off the waitlist).

Students on other threads are starting to hear apparently - so that is good news for people still waiting.
Why keep checking the portal? Wouldnāt there be an email notification that something happened in the portal?

My daughter never checks the portal unless there was an email informing her about an update.

At this point, do you decline admission offers to all colleges other than the one you already accepted or let the offer expires May 1?
