I have 1 A and then a WL here - I have to accept the other offer by April 30th, am I still allowed to stay on northwestern's waitlist after that? does anyone know how that works?
 
Are we more likely to get a WL or R if we didnt hear back today?

You can stay on all WLs, everywhere, until the CTE deadline at the school where you hold the A. This date varies at each school. Make sure you know what it is, since blowing it could leave you with no As. Accepting an offer by 4/30 will not usually involve selecting CTE, but it could, again, depending on the school.
 
just got an email response from admin saying that the waitlist confirmation error on the portal should be fixed early next week
 
is deferred different from being waitlisted?
Yes deferral at this point means you will be decided upon at the final decision date (likely next week or the next 2 weeks).


On that note: YEASSSSSSSS I GOT THE A!!!!!!

I was worried my interviews would end up as WLs after getting waitlisted by Pritzker this morning! BEYOND RELIEVED


Best of luck to all who are still waiting!!!!! Having been in shambles before today, I am hoping so hard for all of you, and I truly believe that if you got an interview at this school you deserve/hopefully will get an A this cycle!
 
Is it possible to get merit scholarships if you are accepted of the waitlist?
 
WL! Interviewed on first day, didn't send any updates after deferral. Will withdraw.

Yes...I believe you can stay on waitlists even after "commit to enroll" date, but you have to decline other acceptances.
 
A! 🙂 interviewed mid-October, and then deferred. Does anyone know if the "accepting" the offer on the portal is binding? Or is it more like an acknowledgement?
 
Congrats to all! Does anyone know anything about waitlist movement? My MSAR expired so if it says anything on there about it as well, please DM me or post here. Thanks!
 
why do they hold off on some decisions?
Yeah, trying to figure this out as well. I feel like there is an underlying reason. Perhaps we are all borderline and they want to use the next couple weeks to make sure they don't over accept?

It’s an acknowledgment
 
Does anyone know how deferral works at this point? I’m feeling like I’m basically waiting for a WL or R if I got deferred this late 😕
 
Anyone have any idea what it means if you havent heard back yet? Worth sending a LOI?
