I guess I'll start the waitlist thread!
CSU: 3ms (status page 12/28, OOS)

I already posted this elsewhere, but does anyone know how the waitlist moves at CSU, if at all?

So from what I understand, in-state alternates are ranked in both lists. The in-state list has about 20 students. Let's say you are #3 out of 20 on the IS list, the school puts you in the OOS alternate list at what is the equivalent of #3 out of 20. Keep in mind that the OOS list supposedly has a couple hundred students on it. So if you are #3 of 20 on the IS alternate list, and there are 200 in the OOS list, you will be #30 on the OOS list. The school offers spots as they open. If an in-state spot opens up, they go down the IS alternate list in order of rank. If an out of state spot opens up, they go down the OOS list in order of rank. If the next student in the OOS list happens to be an IS student (to refer to the example above, they get to #30, which is an IS student, before they get to #3 on the IS list), they will offer the student a spot as an OOS student. This means that if you accept that spot, regardless of whether you have residency, you will be paying OOS (non-sponsored) tuition for all 4 years. The thing is, Dr. Sherry Stewart told me that last year only one person was accepted off of the in-state list. So, chances are probably higher that you will get an OOS position than an in-state one. SO, if you choose to accept the OOS spot, even though you are a resident, they take your name off of both lists. Even if later in the summer they get to #3 on the IS list (your former IS alternate rank), you will not be offered a position as an IS student because you already accepted a spot as an OOS. Fun times, huh?
Remember to include your rank if the school ranks its waitlisters!
Those Cornellers, I tell you what.Right, LSU doesn't rank... but another school on this list does... *waggles a finger at the guilty party*
lalzi22,
What did the letter from Missouri say? I didn't know that they already started a waitlist. I thought the waitlist was going out when acceptance letters did.
Oooh 13 and 10? Those are low numbers- I have no doubt you'll both make the cut. Good luck!
