#Waitlist WINNING
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
Ay not rejections though twin
unless by some miracle i get into duke 🤞
true that 🙌
Lokey with that many waitlists to top schools gotta get off at least one fr
I hope so bro but the individual probabilities are so low
not claiming negative energy im getting off gtown waitlist TRUST
Ong WE ALL are getting off the waitlist at the schools we want
Real
I am getting off the Upenn and princeton waitlist
lets get it!!!
holy shoot
Yeah it’s not optimal fs 😭
If anyone has any wisdom to impart on locis plz lmk 🙏🏼
Will colleges where Im waitlisted look at my 2nd term grades? I got my report card for my 2nd trimester yesterday
Apologies if it’s already been addressed but, does anyone have any info/advice on schools like UVA that don’t seem to welcome LOCI’s & give super vague instructions like “the best way to show your interest is to keep your portal updated” ?
Not rly optimistic abt my WL chances but, with them dropping their supp essays & staying test optional resulting in ~30% increase…I feel like there’s a higher chance that they end up being off w/their yield so 🤷♀️🤞
Should i send a LOCI to umich?
If I was waitlisted somewhere should I update my interviewer
I got lucky and my interviewer emailed me first
wtf ur interviewers r emailing u?? 😭
Mine never did
Mine read the portal wrong and thought I got off the waitlist so he emailed a congratulations
Then he was embarrassed and said he would help me get off the waitlist
Loll
im crine
Lokey kinda a clutch mistake 😭 maybe it just boasted it chances
LMAOOOOO
anyone here on stanford waitlist know how to find a regional AO
rejecting my wl for pton, darty, columbia, and nu, hope it works out for yall!!
@velvet mesa
you should reject your admission for stanford 
THANK YOU
I think i will 😭 but im waiting to finish all scholarship interviews in April first, bc i don’t want it to affect my chances of securing those. I’ll most likely commit mid April, hope the wl works for you 🥲🤞
thank you for columbia twin
you freak
I’m gonna slime you out if you go to Yale over stanford
u aren’t supposed to cause they don’t make the info very accessible if at all
LMAOO hop off lil bro 🤷♂️ i will be on campus some time to visit my brother tho, larping as a stanford student 😁 catch me in a yale sweater 😉
do you guys think advocacy calls R pointless
the only one i couuuld theoretically ask for with any kind of established connection is my principal who went to penn for his EdD, but obviously that's not a direct connection to AOs
and like
i lwk wouldn't go to penn over where i have rn
if u dont wanna go to penn why did u accept ur waitlsit
also wait i thought advocacy calls werent real 😭 like i thought they were urban legends on reddit by nepo babies
i accepted it when i got the offer b/c I would forget otherwise
or idk
i mean it'snot like i got in off the waitlist
i can just email them
this is what it seems; i looked up in the chats for what the college counselors here say and they're like "i mean you can do them, it'll be better if the person doing it has a connection to the admissions office or an existing relationship with the school. It won't really do much though"

although supposedly
it depends on school
and some of them which don't want any new info
will look disfavorably
b/c duh
it really depends whether the person calling has a relationship w someone 'important' and if they know you enough
yeh which is why i'm kinda bleh
like none of my waitlists have ppl that my counselor knows, as far as i know
also i feel like this waitlist cope is lowkey bad for me
😭 yeah same im in the middle of naurwhere
like i'm not getting as excited as i should be about the colleges i am in
and then i feel worse because i feel like a stupid chud for not being satisfied
when i thought i would be, y'know... a more secure person than that
might as well fix your name tag then gng
Same tbh
Idk why
I’m literally committed to one of my dream schools
If someone from my HS is withdrawing their acceptance, will it be more likely that they will accept someone from my HS off the waitlist?
Im still in the process of talking to undergrads & profs fr but ill commit like mid April prolly
no 😞😞😞
No
If u have 0 intentions of going that makes 0 sense to accept wl
...
dud
e
dude
when i got the wl offer
i was thinking
so
i accepted the wl spot
nobody knows
I'd be cautious and assume it's irrelevant
U do realise u can update to change it
dude dw i'm not stealing ur penn spot
i'm gonna continue talking to my parents/counselor
and i'll probably deny WL
No I'm not saying that I dont evennknow if ill get off
Why
I got waitlisted everywhere
Purdue uiuc Cornell uci and ucsd
It’s wraps bro
funny enough we know wl opt-in rate from harvard but nothing else (letter said 2/3 of ppl opted in last year)
if the spectator is trustworthy (which i assume since it's not technially official data, it's not good enough to go on the page)
wl admit was 389 last year!
yo i got waitlisted from cornell, columbia, ucla, berkeley, rice, vandy, stern, michigan
Oh it didn’t show
You gotta search UGA
As department
The only one I was able to cross check is the person for the Rocky Mountains region
Paragraph
Ggs
100% WL Admit rate
Idk if I should add commas
Common data set doesn’t use commas
Not a comma data set
The spreadsheet in me says nah
Got waitlisted at ucsd, ucla, Claremont McKenna, and Dartmouth. Currently my top option is William and Mary but I think if I got off any of these waitlists I'd likely go. Especially the latter 3
ucla gives you a lot of space in the waitlist offer accept thingy
Same here with either holy cross or Emory-oxford
Are we sure
Google it
I got waitlisted uci
Google told me it’s 15%
Take with a grain of salt
Was it google ai
Or did you actually look at official data
Bc I looked at official data for last year
I looked at some website called thinque
no wonder
And also the reputed source I call reddit
that is not uci's website
It’s gonna be like 2% this year watch
Also what should I do during the summer for the waitlist colleges
Because Cornell wants to know
Wtf
OUR WAITLIST GOAT @silk scroll is BACk
me too twin
duke penn columbia washu and jhu
waitlisted from basically every single uc 😔 college is too rigged
guys should i bring back the waitlist calls
i only have 2 finals that are very chill
Yess
what r waitlist calls
yo send the spread sheet link
Pinned
@abstract cloak wl purdue ✌️
officially a waitlist warrior!
Yuh
dubs
I would also like to know what wl calls are 😭
new waitlist warrior! (umich accept me pls)
OMG OUR WAITLIST CALL GOAT
calling admissions offices to ask them when the waitlist will start moving and such
YES THAT WAS ME
last year i calledl ike 200 different universities to ask abt waitlist info
oh em gee
did u get off ur waitlist
and id post that info on a2c and dm it to ppl so i got famous
i didnt get off uchicago or bowdoin unfortunatley
tho i got 10 waitlists in total
i opted out most of the tho
the REAL waitlist warrior
real
WAIT YES BC IM TOO SCARED TO ASK THEM 😭
Hi
anyways guys im back.
@lament jacinth got off the georgetown wl without loci
The Goat
Finished my pton loci
Scared to submit I really would love to enroll there 🐅
i can give u feedback if u want
i met with an ex columbia AO to review mine last year
Omg please! I would love that
Did evb get that nyu waitlist email
luck
literally
just luck
oh great ty
ong
67%
what if i email the office everyday with the same message
'pls let me in'
son
oh i didn’t know you got off the columbia waitlist i thought you were rd
im crine
She's at barny
no i didnt get off the waitlist
i got waitlisted at uchicago and bowdoin and got my locis for them reviewed
Yes dm me
dayum okay
if you're okay saying, what did they tell you they liked/didn't like abt your LOCI drafts?
holy the dedication
Wait are you the person that posted on Reddit AHAHAH
wth my loci is limited to 500 chars
sorry if this question got asked already but for schools like cmu with a waitlist reply form, do you write it similar to a loci, or do you only focus on giving tangible updates? lmk if the question is confusing
how long should my waitlist LOCI roughly be?
one page
do not write more than 1 page
so may be <350 words? im def afraid of writing too much and the AO just cant bother to read the whole thing
Excuse me
No sorry excuse YOU
I did like 75 of those
i love u babe
Was one of those Dartmouth?
So you got off the waitlist last year?
I told her i was an admitted student and she was like um we’re not gonna give you any of that information do not call no one has been admitted off the waitlist you’re not allowed
Ohh
And i was like damn do you not want me to pick your college every other AO has been so nice 😭 😭
No i just helped isa do waitlist calls (and that included dartmouth)
I just wanna get off the waitlist there
Would be a dream
Frankly I'm on 4 waitlists rn and if I got off any of them I'm going there
I wish you the best of luck!! May you navigate the nightmare that is dartmouths waitlist
😭😭😭
This is who i saw on reddi
Chat anyone who got waitlisted gl we’re waitlist warriors
who do i address the loci to
dear admissions office
dear basketball
Thinking of that one meme
You can just say admissions office
But name the school too
Like Dear Duke admissions office
Northeastern waitlist 🥀🥀 will they send me off to London
I just sent my LOCIs, hope to be a waitlist warrior no longer 😭
I addressed to dean of admissions
its so early
but i guess te earlier the better
I spent a week writing them lmao
I didn’t want the dread going into AP season
oh did u do diff locis or did u tweak it a bit for each one but used the same format
thats smart yea
I spent the most time on my Princeton one since it’s my top choice and just modified it for Cornell and Georgetown
I kept the updates the same and modified the parts about the specific school
yea thats what ive been doing too
WE are getting off the waitlists
I am manifesting your top choice for you as well ❤️
wait for internationals if we ever get off waitlists it'll probably be in may right
Is it the AOs fault or mine that I got 5 waitlists
did anybody get waitlisted at uc berkeley
it's never your fault dont worry
meee
waitlist means you were good enough but they ran out of space, its not your fault
It’s just life
When you apply to internships you’re not even gonna hear back from a lot of them
I had one email me last month to reject me from an internship I applied to two years ago
Like buddy I alr knew you rejected me
No point in sending me the email in 2026 when the internship happened in 2024
I also applied for a job recently where I thought my phone screen went awesomely and then my interview with the hiring manager went so dogshit that I could immediately tell I was getting rejected (which did happen a few days later)
Long and short this is not gonna be a first or a last and it’s not your fault
berkeley sucks for waitlisting us 😩
what even is the point in sending out a rejection that late lmao
I assume it’s automated and they just forgot to close the posting
And closing it is how it sends
One thing that’s sometimes nice abt internships and jobs is sometimes you can sorta tell that you’re not a good fit which you can’t tell in college apps
Like for that interview that I did dogshit on it ended up being for a company that has a partnership with a company I alr contracted for but I didn’t know that and my boss met with the team I was gonna work for had I got that job the week after I got rejected and she told me she felt the vibes were off
I had another guy ik tell me a week ago he got fired from the company
So perhaps I dodged a bullet
Keep it blunt then
Someone on reddit said they did bullets and got in which sounds about right for such a low character count
It’s not gonna change by residency
Most waitlists are in May regardless
Sometimes they are mid April but I think that’s uncommon
Especially at schools like t20s where so few are pulled off the waitlist at all
I saw a YouTube video a while back of some guy who dropped out of a college a week into the term bc he got off the Berkeley waitlist
Maybe it was UCLA or UChicago
Wait but if internationals get off a waitlist in like august how will they get their visa in time
Idk ask the school if that happens
this is why we rarely get off 😢😢
esp last yr when they literally just stopped giving visas for 2 months waitlists were so cooked
cs u would have to basically do the whole thing again new i20 new ds 160 sevis will have to be transferred
i have heard of someone entering on one schools visa and then changing it once they're in the us but ur original school would have to allow that which seems dicey if ur not gonna attend
nah I’ll just have to apply for the first time if i get off
I’m committing locally if I dont get off but the deadline is in end-May
FAST where have u been
how were results
oh where r u going
probs ntu they gave me a full ride
omg amazing
finals coming up I am so fucked😳😭
oh pretty bad lmao avg intl seeking aid probably wl from colby and conncoll and acc from uta utd ua and rollins
will be taking a gap year maybe
where are you waiting on
northwestern/cornell/cmu
Ooo
Wait guys should I send a follow up email after my loci?
Waitlist warrior right here
ikr
If you don’t mind me asking did u mention a professor’s name in ur loci?
did I mention?
Yeah
I'm still writing it lol but like
I'm trying to pick out classes more
if there's a professor in my field of interest maybe
I shoulda listed a professors name
but wanting to go to a school bc of a particular prof that u dont have connection with won't be a strong argument
But I alr sent it so if too late
Yeah u first gotta reach out to them
unless you alr are into this very specific field and they're a leading researcher or smth
its ok like
WL is more like getting picked up as a missing puzzle piece
depending on who commits from the accepted pool
than being judged on the quality of your LOCI
or updates
they alr wanted you
idk if cmu wl is worth it 😭
just didn't have the spot
I hope my chess skills are enough to make me unique🙏
they let off so few ppl for the amount they waitlist
They let off different groups from what I heard
Wait am I fucked for the state category Ik so far 2 ppl from my state go to the college I got waitlisted from?
depends on what state
Nah I’m just gonna go for the shits and giggles
like unless its wyoming or smth I'm p sure they take more that 2 from each
for intls like countries matter more right
IL
Babson took a plethora of intl applicants in the early round
Idk if intl apps r still needed
full pay ig
is this for babson
Yeah
Last year they took 153
oh yeha thats a lot
Out of 1.5k
The numbers have gone up since 4 yrs ago no one got off
I just have to hope some rlly cracked kids that got in end up going to stern or Wharton
yeah its rlly random bc its fully dependent on yield
Yeah idk where to choose if I get off from VTech
its gonna be hella more fun than babson lol
SLU is good for its co op program
what options do you have rn
Well rn just my safeties lol I got DePaul, UIC, SLU, Penn state, Iowa state, and Loyola
Yeah but it’s too expensive
Thank you hopefully you get off the waitlist at ur dream school too
Amherst 🙏
for anyone waitlisted from uchicago feel free to dm me for any questions!
do u think its worth a shot with loci
since they already have such high yield rates
yes 100%, uchicago takes a significant number off the wl, including me and others i know
Do they publish their numbers
I could not find on common data set
i don’t believe so, they do some shady stuff with yield for wl so i doubt they want to show it
they like offer admission once you say you’ll attend if admitted
i heard early-mid april
am i making it if i went to visit the campus as an intl after waitlist and meet with the aos 🥹
yes
les goooo
bro you got pomona and ucla i wouldn’t even bother 😭
pomona lowkey better than the big george
Boii whatchu say about pomona
is it worth waiting until pres scholars semifinalists r out to turn over some locis
boiiii whatchu say about ucla?
yknow what pomona does suck
they rejected me after all
🖕
Question i saw a post on reddit abt this
But when your wl are u supposed to email the person who signed ur wl letter,m
About ur loci
Or just upload it to the portal and call it a day
no upload it on the portal
that's usually the dean of admissions 😭😭
what if mine was some random
Sometimes its not thats why I said it like that 😓
Thank you!
I'll upload it and that will be that
He made a statement so GLORIOUS that his gang WORSHIPPED him
whens a good time for waitlist loci
earlier if possible but dont rush just to get it done
early to mid april
which school btw
they're not going to really read them until mid april at the earliest
but probably may
some schools take kids off the waitlist in april, though
so for those schools the earlier the better
harvard? 🙏
no
harvard almost always has their first date of waitlist decision drops in mid-may
around may 15
there they hand out the majority of acceptances/rejections
i very much like that they do that
it's a good practice and more schools should follow
if schools gave waitlist rejections in mid-may it would enable many students to get over it and then focus on the college they're actually attending
I sent my Pitzer one in and they read it and added it to my file
But to be fair it was in an email sent to them bc I didn’t know I could put it in the portal after submitting my offer
does anyone know if princeton has the same policy?
^
idk the answer, but curious too
ik someone who got off the princeton wl in mid may last year
You send in a loci?
Feeling the same way twin
Not for Harvard tho lol
Honestly I love how so many people got into both UCLA and ucsd when they choose one they free up a spot on the other
which school
On the waitlist for UCSD, UCLA, Claremont McKenna, and Dartmouth
It’s okay I’m not going UCLA + I’ve alr withdrawn!
Hope it goes to you
Thanks twin
did not apply any of those gllll
i got wl to all the UCs i applied for
uci, ucsd, ucla, ucb
Hope one of those works out for you. CMU is a great option though
Gl to you too
yea thanks, im staying on the wl for ucla and ucb
UCs were insane with waitlists this year
oh ok yea idk im waiting for a likely state level award this weekend even tho its prob not that impactful
oh ok
uhhh CMU, Cornell, Duke
i got into ucsd+ucla and im not going to either
u can have my cmu spot if i go to harvard 
🙏
Guys do you think asking for virtual tours with a current student and showing interest for the uni will increase chances of getting in?
can’t hurt!
i did a real life tour and it was fun
Ok this is interesting according to the Dartmouth newspaper Dartmouth accepted 1,687 students with the expectation of enrolling 1.175 students allowing 512 students to say no likely without going to the waitlist. So my understanding is if more than 512 say no the waitlist will be used. If I'm wrong let me know what I misunderstood
yes but keep in mind ED
Ok great point so that adds about 235
good luck
Or 337
dartmouth wl is srlly hard to get off
yeah
Ik I don't think I have a chance but here's to trying
any other wl?
Though it won't change anything I find calculating stuff like this very fun lol
Yep! UCSD, UCLA, and Claremont McKenna
I'd be ecstatic if I got off one of them
i just declined ucsd yesterday i hope u get it!
Ty!
Went for a literature alternate major, I was going poli sci before and stupidly did not offer an alternate initially
That brings the total to about 850 spots to lose at most before even touching the waitlist if my math is right
But there’s also the fact that people who got accepted for Dartmouth prob got accepted to others great universities so…
I don’t actually know but I think it’s a valid point
Ya the question remains how many would have to to create yield based waitlist openings
There is also the fact that institutional priorities exist and regardless of yield rate. even if yield is above the expectation they may still need a saxophone player for their jazz band
Or something like that
Yes, like if all Brazilians students who got accepted do not enroll even if 850 students don’t enroll they will probably call some Brazilian WL students
Ya
But WL data is crazy
Like in 2020 I’ve seen some unies with 60% of their WL getting acceptance offers
Off course it was a difficult year but still, I think it’s crazy
for UCSD 100% got off in 2024
🙏🙏🙏
No way, is that true?
oh
Although the year before UCI was closer to this
then i meant UCI
fuck ucsd
u got this
hi guys did anyone else get waitlisted from CMC? where am i able to submit a LOCI bc i cant find it in the portal 😭
I did
If I get waitlisted, do I just stay on the waitlist until they post waitlist update or do I get rejected form waitlist
I’m kinda confused on how it works
which school
Barnard
for example harvard will hand out most accept/reject in may
believe so
some unlucky ppl get put in waitlist hell where they don’t get rejected until july 💔
what does the portal say
It has nothing
All it says is to submit waitlist update and loci asap (I said yes to waitlist after decision came out and I submitted loci around 10 days after it came out)
Whatever happens I can apply next year as a transfer 😪
How long should I loci be? I've heard different things
a harvard friend of mine said their aos only get around a minute to read locis
Also if you haven't already you can do the video
Does your portal have a place to submit your loci? For mine it said 500 max under the place to copy and paste, it might say something for yours
max 1 page
AOs are not gonna spend a lot of time reading these, similar to college essays
so keep it concise
use bullet points for updates + awards, with brief intro thanking them for reconsidering ur app
and why ur interested still
None of them rlly do. Dartmouth is a Dropbox, cmc is I think an email, and UCLAs form is like 3,000 characters
UCLA is not exactly a LOCI, its more of an update place
u dont need to reaffirm ur interest, u just need to give updates there
id recommend bullet points
Rn for Dartmouth it's about 500 words but I've heard that's both too much and I've seen examples that did way more
my princeton loci is 341 words
thats just for reference
Interesting a successful one I saw reaffirmed interest a lot and was literally 1000 words
can u share the link?
Not rlly but I could dm it
i did do the video before, where did u submit a loci
Idk the only Dropbox I see is for a resume
im just gonna assume they dont take it then 😭 😭
someone waitlisted at DKU around?
guys, on your LOCIs are you using a common structure?
like, my ND loci looks like my deferred loci to lehigh ED 1
hi
Hiii can I dm you?
sure
sending in my locis prolly tmrw wish me luck guys 🙏
Good luck bro hope we both get off the waitlist
how long should you wait to send your LOCI?
Maybe send asap until April 15
here’s what im doing
intro: reaffirm interest
body: why im still interested (similar vibes as a why us essay but not as long) and updates
wrap it up by thanking ao
I kinda did that
Then I think it’s ok
I want a waitlist student to tell me typically when they hear back
I think it’s from mid may to June
But it may depend on the uni, like DKU said most of WL results usually come out on May 8
😔
kind of anecdotal but my cornell loci was 580 words and i got in after getting deferred. if you're not repeating old information it's fine as long as it stays a page in length
Holy shit VTech waitlist movement started in so scared
How do you know?
You able to look at mine? (Unless your that person who gets a lot of requests, don't wanna add to that)
I saw some reel
u mean like acceptance offers off waitlist are coming out alr?
Yeah
It’s ‘30 not 30’ btw
Turned in my UCLA updates 💪
no, no. the ' is placed right
I know you did not just correct me for the correct '
no, no, you're not getting me
he isn't talking about graduating in the year 2030
he's saying he's 30 feet tall
:))
Any1 off the nyu waitlist off? Tandon or stienhart
Is it a bad or good idea to go to the admissions office during my tour and try to talk to an officer? Ik for Dartmouth this is a no no but I wonder if it's different for cmc cause their waitlist is smaller
i dont think this is a good idea
Glad I asked the server lol
A friend of mine literally got off of the waitlist at Amherst College by sending an email
yeah ts bad idea
it would bombard the office if it was a good idea
i promise some fuckass consultant wouldve made a tiktok abt it by now
Submitted my Dartmouth loci!!!!
No way really?
Yep, idk how she did it but I wanna do the same 😭
Apparently it also included a picture of her at the school lol
That’s crazy
I was trying to schedule some virtual information and campus tours to try to talk with people directly
I think it is a good idea. But to get off the WL like just by sending an email this is crazy (and a dream btw)
She may not even go cause another great LAC gave her more aid
i did that lol
i sent a little pitch deck with stuff i did and a campus tour page
Did it work
What school?
cornell and bowdoin
omg like a google slides? 😭
yup lol but i applied for design so it was rather well made compared to a template
omg bro locis are so mentally draining
this is hard
man im doing ts just to get rejected again
sad emoji
Anyone get off the waitlist?
ikr
this is psychological torture
aye bro it only takes 1
Better than not submitting one and regretting later
withdrew from fordham, michigan state, maryland, pitt, usfca, chapman, occidental
good luck to the maybe 1 person who is waiting for any of those
so many acceptances
am i cooked if i do my loci tomorrow
orrrr
likeee
like is it too late or no
crying emoji
better late than never
also it’s not may yet so i think you’re good but idk
She must be super high on that wait list ranking
Ngl im actually gonna be in so much of a dilemma if uiuc accepts me
if i recently learned that an outside source (not family) would be willing to contribute $33,000 annually to tuition, is that something I can inform my waitlisted colleges about?
Definitely
hi
You'd rather go there than Georgetown?
they’d be contenders
everywhere else i got waitlisted wouldn’t be
Any Amherst/nd movements yet?
hello guys, is it too late to submit a LOCI? I am planning to write and send mine today. Would it still be considered, or is it unlikely to make any difference at this point?
i am on babson and grinnell waitlist
I was wondering the same for ND
But I think it is still early for expectations
Gl 🤞
Yuh probs after may W
1st
For both of us!!
Yuppppp
I need this 😭
Fr bro
Wowww but that are crazy WL results
Like top colleges definitely
You will get off of at least one mate, I believe. You prob have a great application they know that already
colgate is wonderful too but WLs js pmo
ty gng I sent an LOCI for only ND and Amherst so hoping that works out
Do you sent your ND as a pdf file in the upload input?
yeah
As “application update” right?
Oh then perfect
they didnt answer how so I guessed that was the way lmao
coz the instruction says upload via portal
Exactly. I asked my AO for a virtual campus tour to try to show interest but they didn’t answer me 😭
being ghosted lmao
At least with DKU I could do a virtual info and campus tour like particularly
I was the only one who attended
🤞🤞🤞
I JUST GOT OFF WAKE FOREST WAITLIST
sending my harvard LOCI rn
^^ same question
will not submitting the LOCI help you?
if not, then is there any harm in writing and sending the LOCI?
also, it's not really late for a lot of colleges: many don't take kids off the WL till mid-may
idk ig i thought it was too late
did the school say "send us updates by X date", for which x date has passed?
if so, it's late. If not, it's not late, and sending a LOCI will help more than not sending one
alrighty thank u
waitlist acts as yield management
most of these schools are still waiting for may 1
to see how they're yield is going
*their
Will getting bs on my transcript in the spring ruin my chances of getting off waitlists in the summer?
^ ap lit is looking bleak
Do those even get sent unless you get in?
wait ur lwk right
Yeah Babson’s was Alr due on April 15
Weird question but how many who opt into a waitlist actually write loci?
Guess we never gonna know
Guys do you have any good loci examples
I looked online found one by college essay guy
But it looked pretty generic to me
Like it didn't really go into much detail about the college itself which we do in essays to show them we researched about the uni
I know an alumni from cmc who's willing to write an external letter of rec for me. CMC doesn't mention anything about a letter for a waitlisted application but when I asked about it they said "it's alright and would be added to your file". Should I have the letter sent?
what will this alumnus say about you
how do they know you?
are they a mentor on something your did, a teacher, etc..?
Kinda a family friend. It would mainly be a reiteration of fit
I'm not sure if a LOCI from someone who doesn't know you in an academic/EC context will do much for you
Anyone else get another waitlist opt in today from cmc?
Sadly I haven’t heart anything from my WLs
But I am not on cmc WL, just wanted to say that
Has nyu waitlist strted to move
apparently the duke waitlist moved??? one of the ppl in my school got off apparently
guys, I wrote one of my LOCIs using the name-letter effect and tried to make it a little quirky, but I am getting mixed reviews on it. Some people like it, and some do not
Does a LOCI need to be more traditional and straightforward compared to an essay?
shii
btw DKU wl moved
ik someone who got off
wdym by name-letter effect
what is the name letter effect
Is it recommended to mention acceptances to other universities in my waitlist update essay
(fyi I am in the MIT waitlist)
no
So basically I have been accepted to Cambridge university for maths, but cambridge has an entrance exam for maths (STEP) and I have been preparing for it for a good chunk of my time. But if I don't mention cambridge in my MIT essay, I can't mention my preparation for STEP either so I don't have much to say on my update essay
is it still ok?
well u want to convince the college that ur going to yield
and mentioning other colleges does the opposite of that
can i dm you?
sure
i dont wanna share my loci detial in public
The purpose of loci is to show u will def go there and are a good fit there. MIT cares about their yield so it’s not a good look to mention other competitive college acceptances. You should try to just talk about step preparation in terms of ur interest and stuff like that, if just mentioning step by itself is useless without mentioning the Cambridge acceptance, or hints at it, i may consider not adding that. Ultimately ur decision, u never know what admissions think.
Also how many ppl come off uiuc waitlist for engineering
I feel like it’s close to 0 and they just keep it there to edge me
This is the realest statement ever said
hi guys - is it worth emailing ucla a loci on top of having done the opt in text boxes?
could it do more harm than good?
odds r it won’t be considered
When?
april 23rd
how i feel telling all my waitlisted schools thet theyre my first choice 
"i will 100% commit if let off the waitlist..."
😭
I only said that for CMU
Might be frid
This me but in essays
I was like oh all of yall are so diverse and I see myself fitting in and whatnot
The diverse part is kinda a stretch for some colleges
Like they were fine but not as diverse as I claimed them to be
i did this too 😭
Bro relax there is no AO here you can say the truth that you tell every uni they are your top choice
Jk
i said it to fordham when in reality it was my #9 choice😇and got accepted after my deferral
my close friend from school got into princeton REA
is it a good idea to mention talking to him about the school and its programs in my LOCI 😭 😭 😭
waste of words
just talk about the school and its programs
waitlist wait is killing me
i hope results can just come out first 2 weeks of may so i can give up easier
lwk i alr gave up i dont even realllly want to go to my waitlist schools over the one im gonna commit to
gt is amazing don’t even worry about that
Lucky, I have the opposite problem
same i freaking hate the school im committed to it was the only school i got into and it doesn’t even offer the major i wanna do 🫠…
What are your waitlist options? Hope they work out for you
cornell and bowdoin and they’re both kinda cooked 😭✌️
it’s okay my safety is practically free
u?
zacly
Dartmouth, Claremont McKenna, ucla, and ucsd
good luck for all!!
dartmouth was one of my tops
u have a very real chance at ucla and ucsd anyway
Thank you you too

Just ran my info through the cmc aid calculator and I need more aid then I thought. I'm never getting off the waitlist
is it too late to send in loci
bro is cutting it close yet again
😭
Me with pton
if you keep putting it off it will be 😭
can someone review my loci
you can send it in my dm
is it fine if i send mt loci on may 1st
that's a surefire way to NOT get off
why is no one daily manifesting this year 😭
unfortunate
i mean, i got off duke's waitlist in like 4 days 
it worked for like 8 different people last yr
Wow
wow
how lmao
i mean each school has its pros and cons
MIT(its mit) vs ASU(#1 in innovation!!! baby, over stanfor and MIT)
i still dont get what innvation is lmao
we shld start
day 1 of manifesting harvard!!
day 1 of manifesting notre dame!!
I must get in nd. It will be so much affordable and nice to be near chicago 
I don't believe in manifesting (it never works for me) but I sincerely hope for ucsd, ucla, cmc, or Dartmouth
How is innovation measured? In patents or?
Honestly rankings are abit overblown nowadays
We tryna measure everything including creativity
no you absolutley should say that if it is yoru first choice
i wouldnt reccommend writing it if its not tho -- my counselro said that it can make colleges look down on future applicants from your school applying
I gotta put me first 😮💨😂😂
jk
Good work twin keep it going
i wouldn't necessarily attribute it to including that statement in their letter - congrats on dku but as with all other waitlists, it's probably just yield and stuff
@glossy granite did it in lac thread and it worked
They offered you west Lafayette or Indianapolis
Deadass
check out the number of times she mentioned grinnell 💀
wait what its moving?
?
I swear every school is #1 in innovation
How much aid did you received from DKU?
I think I’m asking to much and that is probably a red flag for them 😭
Lafayette
Ye u def won
Day 1 manifesting princeton
i consider it a win
i wanna see if I can get ucsd or uiuc tho
manifesting both my waitlists
i didn't apply to dku lol
the other guy got off not me
i'll manifest too
day 1 of manifesting penn duke hopkins or columbia 🙏
i got off case western waitlist yesterday and got off grinnell a few days ago with a 108k scholarship!! go waitlist warriors
👀
Yea but not sure if they will be cheaper than Purdue unless if ur in state
Can I have your luck getting off waitlists. Like I just need to get off 1 and I'll be happy and buy merch
literally me
same lol i’ll like donate 1% of my yearly income every year
do you usually receive an email when get off the waitlist?
Real
I thought it was a call
Manifesting any of my 3 waitlists 🙏
Twins
🙏
speaking of waitlists
I couldn't help myself anymore so when I went on my solo trip to Japan I started utilising the power of religion
I applied Econs!
best of luck 
im not instate for either
ill probably js stick with purdue
If I get a C this semester is it bad?
No unless they specifically say ur admission requires u to hit a certain high gpa or to get b or better
I got waitlisted btw
ngl i don't even remember what waitlists i said yes to
@bleak tangle write a letter of continued interest
My friend who got waitlisted got off the waitlist in like 1 day after writing a LOCI to NU
thats insane
It was transfer waitlist tho
The admissions team for first year and transfer is the same
Has JHU waitlist moved??
fordham waitlist has moved! just got in
thanks!
is it recommende to talk about the uni when writing about your update essay
I just said that I still wish to study at [insert uni] and I would be extremely thankful and honoured and stuff
is this sufficient or must I add more info about the waitlist uni
question
if you get waitlisted then accepted
do you get an email that tells you there’s a status update
can anyone answer this plz
i need to submit by today
bruh
Day 2 of manifesting princeton
yes
show interest for the uni
my MIT essay update doesnt say anything about it though
it just tells me to give updates
and how the updates relates to how you will be in the uni
I think for most unies it's good to show interest and talk about it in your updates (mainly when WL) essays
but I don't know about MIT, this update essay is something like "just tell me what you did from jan to now" or ... ?
take a look in your portal
it's probabily just a LOCI they require, but it's good to search more online like in their website or some reddit past wl
I'll just talk a little more about the uni
cant write too much since i need to go to sleep soon LOL
lol
I wish you luck!
i got one for rutgers + fordham
mine called me and then let me know that my portal would show the next morning
but i didnt get an email of a status update other than the like admissions president being like hii so nice talking to u on the phone
For what school
wake forest
I wrote alr AHAHA I submitted it like 8 April or smth
Congratss
ty declining it tho cuz they were like 10k more expensive than unc
do u know wher eu committing to yet
luna why are you gatekeeping me
im ur friend
im deadass stalking ur schools decision page
No one is filling out the forms its killing me
fill it out yourself
Good luck!
I will tmmr
okk i will stay tuned
For schools that say they accept waitlist updates through the portal, would it be a bad idea to reaffirm interest again to my regional admission officer or the person who signed my letter?
u mean dku
did u get waitlisted there too
gllll
i’m cooked
my school's admit alr turned it down 🙏
ya thats what my friend did
where r u committed
girl the deadline is today 😭
i’m between olin college of engineering and uf
