My daughter is on the waitlist at Bowdoin and has not received a notice that the waitlist is closed.
Same here
Yes, I read similar posts also regarding extended waitlist. The letter my DD received said “Our incoming class is full” which I read as pretty definitive, but I guess there is still room for nuance even in such language.

Perhaps they are anticipating some summer melt and keeping a much smaller waitlist to address it. I can’t imagine that Columbia experiences much melt, though.

Anyone know what colleges that have closed their waitlists do if they lose a student to another school in the summer when that student gets off a waitlist? Do they attempt to backfill that spot?
Depends how enrollment is looking. Colleges plan for ‘summer melt’.
For example, they may enroll 108% of their target class size, expecting to lose X number of students over the summer. Generally, in that case, they would not replace a deposited student who is not going to enroll for the Fall.

Alternatively, if they end up slightly below target they will likely not look to backfill either.
