Out of curiosity has anyone OOS been accepted off the waitlist yet?

UPDATE: “Our interview season is over and our class is currently full. Whenever an accepted applicant drops their acceptance with us, we will pull someone off of the waitlist. We cannot predict how many will be pulled from the waitlist. We have a waitlist sub-committee that reviews waitlisted applicants and pulls them for acceptance.”

I guess that is good! at least we know that things might start moving along soon. Hopefully
 
I feel like we're at the will of those holding their acceptance just for fun...hopefully as we get closer to traffic day (per last years thread) spots become available. Last year on the thread it showed people coming off waitlist towards the end of March until first week of May so I would not assume all movement happens after traffic day.

I have multiple acceptances- and I am not holding them for fun at all . Actually it is opposite of fun . The reality of it is that the financial packages haven’t come yet , they are telling us they will come in April for most schools . Till then you don’t really know the whole picture .

Exactly, you’re in a good spot with multiple acceptances and you are 100% allowed to make your decision with all the necessary information (esp. financial). I wouldn’t make a life-changing decision without gathering all the needed information. I never understood the hate for people holding multiple acceptances. It’s not y’alls fault for how long and drawn out this process is when it doesn’t need to be.

Btw I am waiting on waitlists from my two top choices . So I totally get the frustration. That being said - people who have multiple acceptances do also deserve to take their time to make a decision . They worked really hard for it . This is one of the most important decisions in their lives . I had three acceptances , and I released one of them as soon as I made up my mind . But I will hold on to the other ones till I know what will be in the financial packages . I’m just saying

To add to what the other poster said, one of my friends got pulled off the waitlist a week before classes started (they were OOS). Unfortunately, that happens across the country.

With tuition rates as high as they are, it’s only smart to wait until you find out.

It would be terrible!! They had already signed a lease for the apartment, moved in, etc. and they got the call. They were getting the chance to move from DO to MD so they packed it all up and moved/found an apartment within a week. It was HECTIC. I helped out with the move and it was probably the most stressed I’ve ever seen them lol.

omg no hate to you for that! I just personally know of people who hold for no reason. Money is a very big factor, wasn't trying to rush your decisions sorry if it came off that way!

Can any accepted IS student post the COA posted on their STAR account? I am trying to make a comparison.
