Hi, I'm another one of the waitlisters for Marquette.
It seems strange to me that it would take as long as late April and into May before there would be any movement from the alternate/wait list. It seems to me from what I hear out there that the second and third round of acceptances are given an even shorter time to reply in the affirmative or negative to the school. This makes sense as classes are filling and the number of qualified applicants begins to drop. Also, Marquette doesn't refund any portion of a deposit after April 15th, so you'd think they'd have a pretty good feel of any shortages for the class by then.
Another posting on page 8 or so of this forum, regarding the Marquette waiting list last year, said that there was a lot of action off the alternate list in late March and early April, which seems to make more sense to me. I hope that's how it goes this year too! I hope it works out for everyone, this 'maybe' stuff is hard on the nerves! Cruel and unusual punishment if you ask me......
