I know, I know, we can’t go a few days without a waitlist thread popping up here. But there are still some of us suffering that long, endless wait for a waitlist acceptance. So, I am in search of your opinions; when would you say its over? When do you accept that you’re going wherever you enrolled and there’s basically no chance? I know that theoretically they can accept you off the waitlist the day before you move in or some absurdity, but, realistically, I’m looking for a date after which I can say I’m reasonably certain its over. I know some schools have already accepted off the waitlist, but some haven’t even started, and they won’t tell if that means they don’t plan on it. Any ideas?
<p>I'd say a safe date is July 1st. If you havent heard by july, I'd kiss it good bye.</p>

Search for your school using the thread search tool.
If you don't find it post a request or search for stats on your own <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=604991&highlight=fish#post604991%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=604991&highlight=fish#post604991</a>
Hopefully you have a good school to attend in September already.
Focus on that College and get excited!!
(If your wait list school comes thru later, you may decide to tell them you're not interested any more.)</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>ive been placed on five waitlists and i have enrolled at an in-state school that i really dont want to attend... but i know the education i will get from the school is good. i also know that i should be so excited about it, but it's just so hard knowing that there are five other schools that i would attend in a heartbeat... make sense?</p>
<p>By July, definitely</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone, for your replies. At least there's still time left. I was worried you would say June.</p>
<p>adamo, I know the feeling. I know I would get a very good if not excellent education at the school I'm enrolled at, but I have five schools also that I'm waitlisted at which I think are better for me, three of which I'm absolutely in love with. It makes perfect sense, and I wish you the best of luck. Who knows? Anything can happen.</p>
