@bobjones12345 In past forums people got calls not just on Friday, but on Saturday, Monday, etc. This may be the first wave, but if enough people refuse there will be more waves. People have heard as late as June–so nothing is final until you get the email that says the waitlist is officially closed. So in other words: the chances are and always have been slim…but don’t reject hope completely!
I’m curious though… how was it that last years waitlist for Yale closed mid-May but other years remained open until the end of June. You would think they would want to keep it open for as long as they can.
As far as I know, they don’t always send the email to everyone (the one that I copied and pasted earlier which releases you from the waitlist.) In other forums there were people who didn’t get the email and were later accepted.
oh, ok… did you send in any updates for Yale? Are you waitlisted anywhere else?
Got the call this morning around 10. Waitlisted at UChicago and Dartmouth but accepted Yale immediately as it was my first choice. I had made that clear through a couple of short letters demonstrating continued interest. Good luck!
Oh that’s great! Congrats!!! Did they email you as well?

The admissions officer will email you as a follow up. That may not be how everyone’s happens, though. In the email he hinted at this being only the first wave of admissions.
Thanks for the info! Keeping the dream alive!!
Hey, so your admissions officer emailed you following the phone call? I have gotten only a call and no emails of any sort… is that normal?
Yeah, I got an email from him with the subject line “Phone Call Follow Up” haha. To be honest guys, I think this process is really at the discretion of your specific adcom rep for your area. So any discrepancies in situation are probably not any causes of worry.
Has anybody that has been accepted been from southern california/ orange county area?
Have any of those accepted been international students?
accepted in N. California (Bay Area)
Congratz! Did you get phone call and email or just phone call?
Haha, I just came on to like 65 notifs :’)) I guess this means for those of us who haven’t been contacted that we’re out (unless some people turn down waitlist offers idk). Well done everyone!
Where are the 65 notifications? If I read through these five pages there are six tops.
@BellaVenezia I made the thread so get a notification every time someone posts ?.
Oh… ok., but we’re not all posting that we got accepted.
lol when did I even say that though?
