Waitlists...thoughts?

I keep seeing waitlists for IU, and D was as well. What are chances anyone will come off? Has anyone heard of acceptances (because we haven’t)?

@socalmtgirl19 I think I read last week about an acceptance or two, and I saw that someone got a no this week. My D hasn’t heard anything at all and we don’t know what to make of it.

My son was accepted off of the waitlist mid-April…if that helps. There are quite a few kids in his class and the class from 2021 that got off the waitlist. I can ask him more specific numbers, but he’s upstairs sleeping! (spring break)

@jmwinn thats so interesting! it seemed like quite a few waitlists for 2023. Its one of Ds top schools, so she’s really hoping to come off, its actually very encouraging to read about ppl attending having come off the waitlist!

@socalmtgirl19 My son said quite a few, maybe even most of the kids in his program were on the waitlist. He has 13 kids in his class. Also, he did send a note saying that Indiana was his top choice just to let them know he was very interested. Don’t know if it helped, but he’s there now so it didn’t hurt!

My D is on the Wait List as well. Wondering if there is often movement? We love the program. Visiting accepted programs this month, but wondering if we should add Indiana as well? Not sure how realistic it might be to get off Wait List.

@2019wolves We are still on the WL, apparently some people have come off (accepted), but others have been released (as in now not in the running). We are unsure of whether to go visit. Hopefully things will pick up in mid-April!

@2019wolves @socalmtgirl19 I have a freshman in the MT program at IU and they did use the wait list to fill the class last year. Best of luck! Feel free to PM me if you have questions about the program that I might be able to answer as a parent.

Still on the wait list. My D sent a very kind and respectful email to Richard Roland a couple of weeks ago about a potential visit, but we never received a response back ?
So, we are heading off in a few days to visit her school acceptances.

My daughter also is waitlisted and has not heard back yet. I imagine now that the May 1 decision day has come, the program will know who rejected their offer and what slots that opens up. I am hoping they will be notifying waitlisted students this week.

Have you heard a reply yet?

Hi @DianaW @2019wolves ! my daughter is a current bfa mt student there. If you are really interested you should email again. Previous email could have been missed and persistence and showing interest sets you apart from others.

@bhappyjack and @DianaW My D did follow up twice, with no reply unfortunately. After 3 emails, she gave up. We LOVED Indiana, but felt like we had to move on after no response.

Happily she found her perfect fit during our Spring Break visits to her accepted schools. She committed on April 30 and is excited to be moving forward ?
