COLOR=firebrick]Does anyone here know how fast the GWU waitlist moves. They just threw me on the alternate list waaay back in October and I have no idea how fast it moves or where I stand. Does anyone have the slightest clue. Thanks.[/COLOR]

I don't think they even start to look at it until sometime in May. I would also like to know how fast it moves once it starts and how many people generally get accepted off of it.

FYI...my friend goes to GW and she said they take about 40% from the waitlist (not a bad statistic🙂 and I know they definitely don't touch the waitlist till some time last may. I'm on the waitlist too and it sucks waiting!! hope this helped🙂

I don't know anything about when they start looking at the list again. But, I did get a letter asking me to keep them updated and to let them know of my intent, as they will offer positions to qualified peole who show interests. It doesn't seem like there is any form of ranking. But don't take my word for it.
I won't be sending any letters. But, if you are really interested, I suggest you let them know.
Good luck!

Does anyone know about approximately how many people they put on the waitlist anyway? If there is not any form of ranking, how do they decide who gets off? I am desperately wanting to know where I may stand at this point! May can't come soon enough!

I go to GW, and they definitely don't start looking at the waitlist until mid May. They will contact you via phone if you get accepted. There is a lot of movement off of the waitlist (up until the middle of August)- so keep your hopes up!

Definitely send updates in May. I received a phone call from the ADCOM 3 days after I faxed a letter to their office.

Good Luck!
