Hey! I know there is a "waitlist survivor" thread but it doesn't have much activity. I was wondering if waitlists are still moving a bit/ will be moving a good bit into mid-summer? I don't know the typical trend and was just curious

Oh wow, was it hard for them to catch up, or did the school assist them a bit?I don't really know how the PACE of movement changes as summer goes on, but most schools have a series of deadlines as they make offers, so there's continued movement through summer. We had people start a week or two <after> school started.
FWIW, the forum seems to be significantly quieter this year overall and quieter for the new cycle as well so far. For my first cycle, it seemed like there were hundreds of new applicants on the threads. This last cycle, not so much. Just because you aren't seeing movement being announced on here doesn't mean it's not happening!Honestly, I have been thinking the same thing. If you look back to previous years compared to this year there's barely been movement.
It's very frustrating--- I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us!!!
not really, in my experience. Also, it;s still very early into the application process.significantly quieter this year overall
It is super frustrating. Sometimes it would just be easier to hear a direct yes or no instead of playing the waiting game. I am #3 on my IS list and it hasn't moved to my knowledge between May and June. Trying to stay hopeful but it's tough sometimes.
I'm still holding out hope but it's tough! I wanted to get an idea of whether or not lists have a trend and will start shifting at a point this summer. The school I'm waitlisted at advises to not inquire about your place on the list which gives me anxiety!
You can always make it a no by withdrawing until next year and let someone else move up a spot if the waiting is too stressful.
I read that very sassy. lol.
I look at many positive aspects of being waitlisted. What is difficult is getting your hopes too high and not getting that phone call day after day, week after week.
