Wait list thoughts

[ab91]

I have been waitlisted from one of the schools I have applied to.

has anyone had a positive outcome from being placed on a waitlist? I feel like being put on a wait list seems like a soft rejection And I’m not sure how to feel, I feel lIke I should see it as a rejection but I don’t want to lose hope.

What were your stats? I know people who have been pulled from the waitlist right up through the summer (I've heard right before orientation, too) so don't lose hope!

What school waitlisted you?

I was the last group to interview and got waitlisted until mid-July before I was accepted. Don't give up hope yet! Send them a letter of intent if you still really want to go to the school. It doesn't hurt to try.

They waitlisted me before inviting me to an interview.

Oh, gotchya. Yeah, I'm not sure how that works then, I thought you had interviewed... Did you apply to any other schools? Is that your AA OAT or TS OAT? Maybe try retaking the OAT, too.

Yeah that was my AA. I do plan to retake here after the 90 day rest period. I’m shooting to retake dec/Jan depending on what is available at my testing site.

I was confused, I didn’t know you could be waitlisted before an interview as well. But Arizona wasn’t my dream school. So fingers crossed I hear better news from my other applied schools lol

thanks for your insight!
