I called admissions. She was really nice about answering my question. I was told the waitlist is ranked and still active and will be until the incoming class is filled up until orientation or the list is deactivated, which those on it will receive notification once it is. She said things are slow and updates and other forms of communication will not impact ranking or anything else since your app has already been reviewed, so it’s just a matter of spots becoming available for the next person on the list. I’m sure they’ve been knee deep in incoming calls/mail in their inbox. Keep positive thoughts 🫶🏽

Does this mean they’re done interviewing for the cycle?

Do you mind sharing the phone number you called to?

I called a number that was provided during second look. I’d prefer not to post it and have her receiving an influx of calls or messages. There are other contacts listed on the admissions website that may be helpful if you try to reach them.

I tried calling each admission officer as well but their mailboxes were full too :/

What number are you calling for admissions? I can't get through

Perhaps they didn't touch our application. Can we get application fee refund since they didn't spend time on our application?

I wish since they are one of the few schools that don’t take FAP.

They did send us the email that they reviewed our app though :/
 
June 12th is this Thursday, and I believe that following this date, we will see significant changes that will reveal the acceptance percentage for the waitlist, yielding the most movement or not. After this, there may still be a few random acceptances, but they are likely to be minimal. I'm not sure if the waitlist process was similar in previous years, but the extensions and longer wait periods are truly frustrating, especially with the tentative start day less than a month away, July 9th, from June 12th.

Could anyone share what the group me is at now? Trying to get a sense of what the class is at now

WOW! This leads me to believe that the percentage of applicants coming off the waitlist has decreased compared to previous years. It's time to follow up on my letters of recommendation for the next cycle.

It seems like it’s decreased dramatically. I wonder what might’ve changed this cycle compared to last. I hope admissions use this cycle to be a lot more careful with the information the share for the next cycle so they don’t give applicants a false sense of security.
 
I was also told the group me is at 96 now so I’m not sure if the rest of the class hasn’t joined the group me or hasn’t committed. I guess we shall see after June 12th!

Right! " A WL is an acceptance-80% acceptance comes from waitlist".
 
Not gonna lie I disagree. Some of students that hosted 2nd look got off the waitlist in June. I think another wave will happen after June 12

the thing is the "wave" of accpetances from waitlists has most likely already happened. Most people got off in may, this was the case for the previous years too. We still have hope for about 5-7 more spots just based off of SDN

Catlover123453 is right. I called and they said they are not expecting a big wave on the 12th. Most of the movement has already occurred and that it is pretty similar to last year. She said going forward, the wl is moving very slow. I took that as there may be a few more but its pretty much done. That is all I needed to hear. Now I can mentally let this cycle go and focus on class of 2030! Good luck and prayers up to everyone.

When did you call?
 
got my WL withdrawal acknowledgement. Almost shed a tear but I hope one of you are able to move closer up and eventually get that A! Good luck to all!
 
FB page is now 156 was 153 this morning. So I guess the list is moving just not as much as one would like or expect based 80% expectations.🤨
