I was accepted at UB back in December, but I am also on 3 waitlists, all of which I like better than UB. I think a lot of people are in my situation, so hold on tight, there will be brisk movement of UB's waitlist in June and July.
I don't see how it can possibly be a good thing that the waitlist is moving slowly. Doesn't that mean that they may not take as many off the waitlist this year?
I think that the most likely reason for the slow movement is b/c of the SCamcas fiasco. Don't worry; I bet you that the waitlist will start moving real fast in late May/June. When I interviewed at UB the director of admissions (I don't remember her name) said that everyone on the waitlist last year wound up getting in. I will be withdrawing my acceptance tommorow (I just wanted to make sure Stony Brook got my acceptance letter and check first 🙂 ). So hopefully someone here will get my spot 🙂 .
IF you had fast movemnet on the waitlist and you weren't excepted then your chances of getting in are much more difficult. However with slow movemnet we have a much better chance.
