I believe that you are correct...it is just weird that my waitlist letter says that it is the 29th...what is on the 19th?
It was the 29th, but admissions pushed it back to May 5th for whatever reason
Thank you![]()
May 15th can't come soon enough! Hopefully, we'll all get some good news close to that date.
I was wondering if people from the waitlist can get an acceptance before May 15th? Or is only after May 15th?
People who are on the waitlist are considered during every acceptance cycle. What my interpretation of how the cycles work is that the applicants each round get a ranking and there is a cumulative list with everyone who has interviewed thus far. Then from that list, the 1/7 th of the class size gets offered admission (from the top of the cumulative list). If you interviewed with a really strong group of applicants during your cycle, there might have been a lot of other good applicants that received a ranking higher than yours, pushing you into the waitlist category. If the following cycle had a decent amount of applicants ranking lower than you, most likely you will be taken off the waitlist that cycle. At the end of the seven rounds, 290 offers have been given, and after May 15th potential students need to make a decision on whether or not they plan to matriculate. With the withdrawn applications, the committee starts at the top of their list and begins offering admissions to fill their class.
From everything I have gathered thus far, I am pretty sure this is how the admissions process works at Wayne.
