For those wondering about the IS wait list.
I started at 36. On 5/3 I was at 21. As of the most recent email (5/16) I am at 9.
Thanks for the update! I'm hoping that things move along briskly in June and into July ... it seems that they may have gotten a slower start due to the 5 extra overacceptances? But in past years it appears there was a fair amount of movement after May. I also wonder if all of those offered an acceptance will choose to attend or if there will be more movement from within the waitlist itself? Good luck to all those still waiting!!OOS Update:
Just spoke with admissions. The OOS class is currently at capacity (no longer over-accepted). The next OOS to drop will result in our first OOS wait-list offer ... Finally!
I was originally #20 and am currently #13. How are people feeling about June movement?
Hi Everyone!!
I just checked my e-mail to see my acceptance letter from Carver.
I have been on the OOS Alternative List for a long time as #1 but that wait paid off!
I just wanted to ask people (esp. current students) about the grading systerm being H/HP/P/F. It seems like it's basically ABCD. What percentage of students get each grades? Is it mostly HPs or Ps that students get?
Hi,
I am leaving the country for 6 weeks and see that we need a health care provider to sign a form saying we don't have any communicable diseases! I don't have health insurance right now though--does this need to be done before school starts?
