They finally updated the tracker! The Acceptance Offers number was 317 for the longest time so I guess now "Acceptance Offers" reflects the number of students who have accepted admission to CU? Does this mean that the class is currently full at 181 students? Any other
thoughts on how to interpret this?

this is scary 😳 And their class size is 155 according to MSAR, what does this even mean?

My only other interpretation would be there are currently 181 offers that have been extended, not necessarily 181 who have committed?
 
Scary. However although people have maybe accepted admission and have committed, they can still receive acceptance offers from other waitlists. So hopefully more spots will open if that actually represents committed applicants!
 
I know in the past the class size has been 182, so this early in May, with waitlist movement expected at other schools, I think we can still be optimistic

Yeah this is confusing, especially since it's been at 317 for awhile now. Which brave soul wants to call/email them? Anyone? Anyone??
 
So 181 have accepted admission. I would guess that at least some of these applicants are also on waitlists at other schools. A glimmer of hope

How much time do accepted students have before they have to definitively commit to Colorado? Just wondering if there is a chance of getting off the middle tier waitlist and when
 
So I guess they under accepted last year due to covid (something like 165 seats). I'm hoping they're going back to 184 seats in the class this year....

I want to remain hopeful as long as possible, but assuming that one person accepts the final spot, there won’t be any more spots unless students who already accepted admission get off other WL’s? It feels like there wasn’t much movement this year

Yeah that's so disappointing, they sent out the tier placement so early, and they use such language like "probability of getting an offer". How can they do that if realistically there's three seats that need to be filled? 🙁

Right, of which 2 seem to be deferrals anyway.

Per Isabella's email to me though, it sounds like they have only made 1 WL call so far.

Yeah that's how it reads to me as well. Sounds like they've only offered 1 person a spot off the waitlist. Offering only 1-2 spots would be some terrible movement.

Does anyone know what it's like in a normal year?

Hmm, could be! I’m just thinking someone on this thread got a call on Tuesday and I’m assuming they accepted. The admissions tracker was updated today, and I feel if that person was the only call, the tracker would be at 182 spots right? I’m just guessing here. Either way for most of us reading this, the only thing we can do now is hope and wait 😅

This is also true. Or maybe they haven’t officially accepted the offer yet. Who knows? A lot of this is just speculation and trying to make sense of the nonsensical 😅

When is CU CTE date this year? the 181 students that accepted can drop their acceptance if they have a better offer (money, higher ranking, closer to home) somewhere else. After CTE date, students that committed to attemd CU must drop all their WL form other schools. So, WL Movement will primarily depend of this action. GL to all of you.

It’s July 1st I think
 
As a side note, I wonder if they will continue to update this application tracker to tell us if they are at 184 or if they are under due to applicants dropping after being accepted off other waitlists
 
CTE date is July 2 according to the acceptance email. I ofc can only speak for myself in saying that I am waiting on decisions for some other schools before making a final decision, so I definitely may not end up coming to CUSOM. I'm sure lots of other accepted students are in the same boat as well. It is only like a week past April 30, so I really do think there is time for other schools to decide on their waitlists, people will start dropping CUSOM, and waitlist movement will begin. Just my two cents, and I know I'm extremely lucky to have been accepted here, but I def don't think it's time to start panicking yet! 🙂

Admissions tracker has been updated to “Total Acceptance Offers: 327” and “Current Acceptance Offers: 184”

I'm sure at least a couple more spots will open up, but only having two people pulled off the waitlist is horrific movement. I wonder what Colorado's average is?
 
Yeah I wonder that too. I think it’s just gonna be slow and uncertain for some time and then waitlist movement will start back up later in May as applicants make decisions based on waitlist acceptances.

Wish this year was like one of the previous years where it looked like applicants were being pulled from the waitlist everyday 🙁

Do you think they wait until they drop below 184 to pull from the waitlist, or do you think they will pull from the waitlist in anticipation of potentially dropping below that number?

Does anyone know if they still make financial aid offers into late summer, June/July timeframe? Or is there a pot of need-based aid money that runs out? I know I missed the scholarship window.

Asking because I'm currently classified as OOS but given veteran status, per CO law, I will be classified as in-state upon establishing domicile in CO.

Does anyone know what in-state financial aid looks like for folks with really modest FAFSAs? Another school I received an offer from gave their max for need-based aid... what does that look like at CU?
