This happened last year as well, where some ISers were put "on hold," until April 15th just in case they overaccepted too many OOSers (It almost always works out 50-50 OOS/IS like it's supposed to, they just do this for precaution). This doesn't mean you are waitlisted necessarily, it just means that they aren't giving out a certain amount of IS acceptances until after April 15th.I was under the impression that all schools had to give you a decision before April 15... But I received an email stating that my application is on hold until then, after which I will either be accepted or waitlisted. I'm freaking out because I have to give K-State my decision by April 15, and Mizzou is my in-state school and my top choice. What do I do?!?
What I would do personally is put the deposit down for Kansas just in case, and wait and see what Mizzou tells you after April 15th. If it's an acceptance, you can then decline Kansas and then put down the deposit for Mizzou. You will be potentially losing deposit money for Kansas, but it is better than not paying a deposit and then somehow not getting accepted to Mizzou.
I know the wait is torture, but keep your head up, it's only a few more weeks!
