Yes, some are accepted after May BUT that is only if you selected to be offered a spot after June 1st. Some people think that putting your deadline as June or August for their waitlist gives you a better spot, but it actually just gives you less priority.

Unclear. My son accepted on the spot mid-sentence. He literally interrupted Ms. Dunn with: “the answer is yes!” He then received a confirmation email.

164

Congrats!!! May I ask your son’s stats? Gpa and scores?

I would be very curious to hear the breakdown for those moving off the waitlist – who is full pay vs. who is not?

For those who have been admitted off the waitlist this year, what did you list as your final date? Interesting to know how that may or may not have affected things….

169

what state? if you dont mind

170

Maryland

I don’t think the date chosen creates a priority or suggests more or less interest. From the waitlist zoom, I recall they said as much.

And good luck to those waiting. I hope everything works out. This has been a painful process!

i’m praying i’m accepted off the waitlist, wake is my dream and i’ve done a ton to demonstrate my interest. i.e. visiting twice, meeting with the equestrian coach at the barn, interview, multiple AP’s and retaking the ACT. i’m trying to not let it bother me but it’s hard to see posts about wfu27 and not get upset, hoping to hear good news though!
