<p>I am starting a thread for people to post when each school opens its WL and if/when someone gets off the WL.</p>
<p>Someone posted on UMich he/she just got off the WL.</p>
<p>I saw a mention of someone being accepted off Fordham’s waitlist.</p>
<p>I saw someone was admitted off RPI’s waitlist</p>
<p>Miami U WL just opened up.</p>
<p>A friend of my son’s was admitted off the Bard waitlist about a week ago. He visited and had an interview with the admissions director, though, so he may have been a special case.</p>
<p>No info to add, but I want to say this is a good thread. Let’s keep it bumped up on the first page, if possible.</p>
<p>my S is on 3 waitlists that he cares abnout, 6 in all. If we hear anything we will report. Seems like a lot of kids are waiting on WL</p>
<p>Washington and Lee active as of last week</p>
<p>First WashU WL offer made to a CC member.</p>
<p>I hope people on CC are using this information to call their WL schools. Two years ago, I got the info through CC. I immediately asked our D1’s GC to call the school. The rep denied the WL was open, but called the GC back that afternoon to offer our D1 a spot. This is the reason I started this thread.</p>
<p>Emory is also active…</p>
<p>My daughter was accepted off the Clemson waitlist early last week.</p>
<p>They activate their WL even before the May 1 reply deadline?</p>
<p>Yes, reading some of WashU posts, adcoms are hoping they could catch their top WL applicants before they send in their deposits.</p>
<p>University of Miami (fl) opened about two days ago.</p>
<p>Once the WL competition begins (which it has at this time), you will see most schools jump in and try to cherry pick the best applicants for their school.</p>
<p>This is interesting. Vanderbilt has estimated on its blog that it will be May 8th before WL is active, but that would be a problem, IMO, if Wash U is already calling kids. Same with Emory.</p>
<p>How do they let the kids know (email, phone, letter)?</p>
<p>I read on Elon’s board that they’ve been taking from the waitlist for at least 3 weeks, which would put it in early April.</p>
<p>I am not experienced at all with how waitlists and yields go with schools, but could Vanderbilt be really confident that it may not need to use its waitlist this year, hence their delay in even calling anyone until May 8?
Or they may feel very confident in their waitlisted students applications and may feel that all of them would be successful if admitted so they may not be concerned about timing?
Last year there were 3 students accepted to Vanderbilt from Ds school and none attended. This year there were 5 accepted and it looks like 4 will attend.(2 of these are athletes) I know it is impossible to extrapolate yield from one school which also happens to be in the Nashville area. Her school also may have had the most number of students ever to apply to Vanderbilt. I think there may have been 9 or 10 total.</p>
