WL gang - are you sending updates/letters of intent ASAP or waiting a little until all the acceptances are sent out? I don't know which makes more sense
Yeah, not holding my breath, but I’m thankful to have other great options already. Good luck to you too!

Dont know the exact number but a current student told me many of their classmates were from the WL
You think even if I've already sent them 2 long update/continuing interset letters? Idw sound desperate, even tho they are really my absolute top choice
We have no idea what it meant to receive no decision? I was deferred in November but nothing this time?

Accepted, crying, interviewed December, deferred in January
Congrats y'all! Out of curiosity did you send any communication since the 2/26 decision date?
I got a deferral email on that date, but I did not send anything. I'm thinking they just hadn't gotten to review my app at that point!
Cool cool, yeah been deferred since November. Wondering when I'll hear a decision.
Yeah, I hope this means they will be releasing more decisions very soon! It truly has been a strenuous cycle for everyone.
Have they said anything about the second look day being virtual or in person?

It’ll be virtual unfortunately!
Haha unfortunately my thought is that they sent the final A's to the crew last night, and the rest of us deferred folks will be getting WL/R tonight. However, if they don't come thru with a decision tonight, then I'd say there is still a chance for us.
I guess the dream's still alive apples
congrats to everyone accepted! can anyone (current students esp) speak to how much of the class comes from the WL?
Im also on the waitlist, and I think most school will have a lot of waitlist movement this year because the financial aid offers and merit school scholarships would be less bec of covid. I know one school that isnt offering merit scholarships this year
MSAR says about 10 acceptance offers are granted to applicants off the waitlist. Doesn't give a number for size of the waitlist though, so idk how useful that'll be for you
It's just holding your spot, as far as I understand. I believe that you'll still be able to explore other offers through April.
the latter
Based on my definition of "Early March", it should be this week haha
welp. I officially have no more guesses as to when we'll hear back🙁

Oof, yeah and it seems like there are just 2 of us SDNers being left on read. Why hold on to just a few apps? Doesn't make sense to me.
me neither! manifesting that A for both of us over here😎
Not sure why merit would be any lower this cycle, the markets are near all time highs for their endowment growth. last cycle was the big unknown with markets down huge.

have u guys checked ur spam or portal?
yep, I’ve checked both. portal still says “interviewed, final decision pending” :/ guess we’ve just got to keep waiting!
