<p>I am on WL in couple of colleges. When do you think they will start filling Wait listed spots? I'm particularly interested in Cornell. Do they go to the WL only after May 1st or by now, they start to get an admission picture? </p>
<p>After May 1, of course. Every school made more offers than there are seats available.</p>
<p>For the most part, after May 1 at schools where the yield was lower than expected.</p>
<p>A few posters have reported athletes getting off the waitlist before May 1.</p>
<p>Usually after May 1, the deadline for deposit. Before that, schools would not know the yield rate.</p>
<p>My brother got off the wait list for a state school three weeks ago. I don’t know why, though. Usually it’s when the other posters said.</p>
