66

Based off last year

67

Any criminology majors

68

it didn’t, in previous years they’ve notified all applicants for each wave of whether or not they were accepted, rejected, or kept on the waitlist for additional waves.

I’m crying so did they just close the waitlist cus why didn’t they release the first wave yet ?! Does that mean they don’t wanna let anyone in?

71

This doesn’t mean they closed the waitlist, it just means they haven’t made any decisions yet. Yale and Dartmouth already notified students that their classes were full last week. Plus, UPenn’s waitlist released on May 20th two years ago, and they would email us if the waitlist is full.

Hello! Would someone be able to contact the Admissions Office? As an international student from Europe, I am concerned that making the call myself could be expensive.

74

I just called the admissions office, they told me that they haven’t released any decisions yet and that they’re planning to do it through the coming weeks as the admissions committee is still reviewing applications.

Omg, I cannot wait any longer….

76

Thank you! They are checking the waitlist applications, yes? Or is it the transfer applications?

77

Guys I emailed them to ask when there will be a movement on the waitlist and this’s what they said:
“At the moment, our Class is full, though we are watching the enrollment within each of the schools carefully in case spaces open up and we are able to make offers from the waiting list later this month or into early June.”

is it bad?

i meannn it surely doesn’t sound great. places will only open up if people defer admission or suddenly decide not to attend. that’s very few…
