Members don't see this ad.

I'm on waitlist at Midwestern (chicago), and I called them and they said that "we can't tell you anything else..." anyone else here on waitlist?? Do you guys know when they will start accepting people from waitlist?? I'm guessing sometime in April but not sure..One of my friend got a call from Midwestern just 1 week before school started (when all her hope was gone)....Hopefully I can hear something sooner than that...

I also heard of someone getting called within a few weeks before school starting. Remember during the MCV they said that you can send the admissions committee a letter explaining any shortcomings in your application, and you can tell them more about yourself. I would definetely do that if I were you. Even if you don't tell them things to make up for a reason why they didn't accept you right away it will at least show them that you are serious about getting in. Good luck.

I just went to the MCV and I remember the Dean told us that the students on the waitlist may wait until August, yes, just like you said a week before the school started. They accept students on the wait list by lottery. good luck!

They accept students on the wait list by lottery. good luck!

Are you sure about this? I've never heard this and it doesn't sound like something they would do.

I agree. If it's by lottery, then what's the point of sending extra essays and things to show you are interested in the program? Right at this point, just have patience and don't lose hope. It will surprise you how fast they call people from the waitlist, and it's only february!

I already submitted in extra essay...They accepted people from waitlist by lottery,this is the first time I heard about this. Then like someone mentioned, what the pt of sending in extra infor?? Anyway, if there is something more I can do to improve my application, I would do it...Well, I need to be patient and wait..

btw, happy V-day to ALL of you guys here...

hey all, I'm sorry that I said about the lottery thing for the students on the waitlist, I may have been wrong. To be honest, for some reason I didn't pay too much attention during the MCV. Hey, good luck to all of you guys!
