100 people get off the waitlist? They only waitlist 100-150 students per year though based on the MSAR report?

This was from when I emailed them last year asking about how many people get off waitlist. They waitlist 100-150, and in the past have taken off as few as 15 and as many as 75.
 
Gotcha. In that case, I guess they're just really overadmitting people, knowing a ton of people are gonna go to other schools? It's just strange that they accept over a hundred people more than they can admit (242 A >> 139 M)

I think the 242 number includes those that get off the waitlist as well. Essentially the total number of people of acceptances given in a cycle. Majority of schools overadmit slightly and then pull from the waitlist after students drop
 
Is anyone able to see their activity essays on their submitted secondaries? When I log into my portal, I'm able to see that I included Activities and their information, but not the essays associated with each one. I know I wrote them, but I'm lowkey spiraling out that I didn't submit them or something happened because they're not showing up

None of the school portals will let you see the essays again like that once you have submitted them.
You have to trust that the school received them and that your memory serves you well.

Hey friend, everyone receives this email after interviewing I believe. Best of luck, I hope you get the A!!
 
I interviewed today (3/23) and was a bit confused about the post-interview survey. Does anyone know where to find it (e.g., email, our application portal?) and when we have to complete it by?

I was a little confused about this as well? This was the anonymous survey right ?

For some reason the speaker from the admissions office made it seem like it was mandatory to complete. But im confused if it was anonymous how are they checking? Or is it a different survey I missed ?

Yeah, the only survey I received was the anonymous one that was sent immediately after the interview. Not really sure how they are tracking whether or not we submitted it though. I found the "potential hold" thing kind of odd...

Did you also interview on march 13? Trying to see if other interview dates also only had the 1 anonymous survey?
