Go on the school specific threads from the last 2 cycles -- thats the best way to see.
5 of them were already in, only 1 of them didnt get in last cycle but they got in this cycle.
The problem is we will never know. We will never know if the update/ LOI helped us get in off the waitlist. Every person that sends an LOI and eventually gets accepted thinks it works. And the ones who send an LOI and don't get in usually aren't very vocal about it. Its impossible to know whether its causation or correlation. The best you can do is send it. And pray.
At this point, how updates are reviewed doesnt really matter as long as u send them to show continued interest.
you think if we add the school to fafsa, the admissions committee would see that and ti helps express the interest?
I think the communication goes the other way, adcoms tell fin aid that you're accepted first then fin aid begins processing your docs. if you get off a wl in the summer, you might have to make a decision fast and don't want to make a decision without knowing your financial aid
I don't think that will have any influence on a waitlist decision.
lmaoooo hang in there everyone! Remember to stay positive!!I just got an email from the one school I’m waitlisted at (my top school and ONLY interview this cycle) and my heart skipped a beat. Then I realized it was just to reconfirm my seat on the waitlistlmaoooo hang in there everyone! Remember to stay positive!!
Not at all. It is important to remember that by the time you are on the wait list at most schools you have already been fully evaluated by the committee and form here forward the waitlist is usually decided by the dean or a small group of committee members with the dean. Most likely, you have a score already and you are already ranked. Letters of Intent carry weight at very few schools-- at some its a check of a box that you are still interested. It may be worth just sending a short letter updating them that you are still interested. But will it hurt you? NO.
Im also on the WL at Temple. During my interview the students said that a significant amount of students get off the wait list. unfortunately there isnt much more we can do but wait
I don’t know why, but today I woke up more anxious than usual. I actually felt like it was a decision day even though it’s just a random Tuesday in April. Let’s hope for the best!
Technically 2, but I’m ranked really low for one school, so basically 1
Hang in there too fam!
I've been glued to my email convinced today is the day but I think its more realistic to expect movement in may 🤣
hahahahahahah same. woke up like today is the day but nope maybe not
Wellllll, it IS 4/15, and people will start reducing from 3 As to 1, so it's not crazy to expect to start to see some movement from today forward, although, you are correct, the bulk of the movement will occur when everyone is forced to reduce to one A on 4/30.
Yep I agree. Not to mention, from the admissions office perspective, they'd have a lot less work to do if they just waited until the bulk of accepted application action happens in May. Why put the committee together twice in the next few weeks if they can just do it once on say, May 4 or 5 when they have a really good picture of how big their waitlist pull needs to be.
Schools are adjusting their deadlines and being more flexible with COVID so I think it'll be fine to complete them later
