Yeah they said they delayed it til June because of graduation, but it sounds like they moved it back up to May! Hopefully its a full fledged meeting and the waitlisted ppl dont still have to wait until JuneJust off the phone with UNLV. I remember u said there's gonna be a meeting again in early june, apparently there's gonna be another one in two weeks, may 15th. She sounded like she wan't sure, she was like may 14th or 15th!!!...but there will be a last meeting also on june 11th. Fingers crossed hoping for the best
GOOD Luck!! I feel sorry for you all! It brought back terrible memories of HELL (ie applying, interviewing and getting through) I wouldnt do it again for 400,000 cash!

I have been accepted to a school higher on my list, so this is not a bitter "didn't get accepted rant" about UNLV, but I thought I would share some curious things about UNLV admissions in the last few months. At the beginning of April I was placed on the waitlist. Called them and was told I was in the top 10 and that I was in "a really good position" according to the admissions office. Was told to wait until the June 11th meeting to hear back, but not to worry. Called back a few times in that timespan and was told that an abnormally high amount of people had been dropping out, and was again told that I was in a "very good position on the waitlist" compared to the number of drops, and to just be patient until June 11th to hear back. So I call back on June 13th, and they tell me that I have not been accepted, am still on the waitlist, and that the waitlist is not even ranked numerically at this point! How can it be ranked before with a "top 10" and now be totally unranked, I cannot understand.
Considering that I was in the top 10 many months ago, and an abnormally high number of people have dropped since then, and now the list is unranked without the previously high ranked waitlisters being accepted yet is strange isn't it? It sounds to me that either they are not completely honest with students who call, are not completely honest about how the admissions process works, or the admissions office is much much more disorganized that we had all thought. This now "unranked" waitlist is especially curious given the fact that UNLV was the only school that I interviewed at that willingly gave out their admissions formula, meaning that they clearly have a calculated "value" for each interviewee.. Just another discontinuity within the UNLV admissions process.
Again this is just to let you all know my experiences with the admissions office, especially those of you still on the waitlist and hoping for an acceptance (or future applicants reading this), as I will be attending a different school regardless of a possible UNLV acceptance. Good luck to everyone still waiting!!
