Anyone waitlisted? What are actual chances? Do they really wait until June 15th? Seems ridiculous to dangle over an already stressed kid.
My son was waitlisted. Looking back at previous years posts it seems some people heard back before June 15. However, RD decisions were also released earlier last year so here is no telling. The stress is difficult.
Well you could google it pretty easily which is what I just did. Last year the waitlist acceptance was 1%. The year before it was 6%. They’ll tell you as soon as people start declining in May. However they accept many more people than they can actually take, so the waitlist isn’t usually used much.
They told us in the letter that 16% of the 2,552 students on the waitlist last year were accepted.
I was told that wait list does not guarantee your getting into your major. And to send your deposit to another accepted school. Waitlists are long. Guess that’s that.
I knew several student who got in off WL last year, but not all of them got their major. Most had already paid deposit at 2nd choice school, but went with NCSU anyway.
First I was deferred, now I’m wait listed. Guess I better move on. Especially considering how low the admittance rates are for wait lists. Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer from UNC Charlotte after the first year? And if so, is it difficult to get in as a transfer from in-state?
@daisyflower You can transfer from UNC Charlotte after your first year. You should visit NC State’s transfer admissions site to get more info on difficulty/acceptance rate.
Visited the transfer page, it gave some helpful info. Thanks @HSstudentNC
Has anyone heard anything about the waitlist yet?
@NCSU1993 not yet and it’s really stressing me out! :’( but ik that last year many people heard back around May 14th
The link to the previous decision letter from 3/30 has been removed from the WolfPaw portal. Let’s hope this is a sign we will start hearing something soon.
We just found out we were not accepted from the waitlist.
Got my waitlist decision back 
Was not accepted
In what major?
@igaveedit do u mind me asking if they emailed you or called you informing the update of your application?
@NCSU1993 how did you find out that you were rejected?
It was in Wolfpaw
did u get an email saying if your wolfpaw account was updated? @NCSU1993
No. The letter in the decision link changed. I checked it daily.
