Will colleges where Im waitlisted look at my 2nd term grades? I got my report card for my 2nd trimester yesterday

rich raptor
#

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

rapid spear
#

I got lucky and my interviewer emailed me first

grizzled cape
#

wtf ur interviewers r emailing u?? 😭

velvet mesa
#

Mine never did

rapid spear
#

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

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

grizzled cape
#

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

rain jetty
#

or idk

#

i mean it'snot like i got in off the waitlist

#

i can just email them

rain jetty

i guess it wouldnt hurt

#

although supposedly

#

it depends on school

#

and some of them which don't want any new info

#

will look disfavorably

#

b/c duh

grizzled cape
#

it really depends whether the person calling has a relationship w someone 'important' and if they know you enough

rain jetty
#

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

grizzled cape
#

😭 yeah same im in the middle of naurwhere

rain jetty
#

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

I’m literally committed to one of my dream schools

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

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?

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

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

candid terrace

abstract cloak
#

And closing it is how it sends

candid terrace
#

thats actually absurd

#

ohh makes sense

abstract cloak
#

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

candid terrace
#

yeah for sure

#

you definitely dodged a bullet there

abstract cloak
#

Someone on reddit said they did bullets and got in which sounds about right for such a low character count

abstract cloak
#

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

bleak tangle

#

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

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

velvet merlin

But I alr sent it so if too late

velvet merlin

#

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

knotty sentinel

just didn't have the spot

they let off so few ppl for the amount they waitlist

depends on what state

Last year they took 153

oh yeha thats a lot

velvet merlin

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

brittle crystal
#

yeah its rlly random bc its fully dependent on yield

velvet merlin
#

I think VTech I should be fine tho

#

Cuz last year 36% of students got admitted off

brittle crystal
#

VT is lowk cracked

#

coz of the network

also bouta have good football

Yeah idk where to choose if I get off from VTech

its gonna be hella more fun than babson lol

knotty sentinel
#

earlier if possible but dont rush just to get it done

rain jetty
#

early to mid april

knotty sentinel
#

which school btw

rain jetty
#

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

knotty sentinel
rain jetty
#

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

bitter mist
#

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

#

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

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

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 😭

pure hare
#

I did

prime bobcat
#

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

knotty sentinel
#

which school

prime bobcat
#

Barnard

knotty sentinel
#

for example harvard will hand out most accept/reject in may

prime bobcat
#

Oh

#

So I will either get accepted or rejected from a waitlist at some point?

knotty sentinel
#

believe so

#

some unlucky ppl get put in waitlist hell where they don’t get rejected until july 💔

prime bobcat
#

Oh

#

That stinks

#

🤧

knotty sentinel
#

what does the portal say

prime bobcat
#

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 😪

pure hare
#

How long should I loci be? I've heard different things

knotty sentinel
#

a harvard friend of mine said their aos only get around a minute to read locis

#

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

pure hare
#

None of them rlly do. Dartmouth is a Dropbox, cmc is I think an email, and UCLAs form is like 3,000 characters

stray mango
#

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

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

Glad I asked the server lol

A friend of mine literally got off of the waitlist at Amherst College by sending an email

Yep, idk how she did it but I wanna do the same 😭

Apparently it also included a picture of her at the school lol

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

Weird question but how many who opt into a waitlist actually write loci?

velvet merlin
#

Guess we never gonna know

rigid topaz
#

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

pure hare
#

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?

rain jetty
#

how do they know you?

#

are they a mentor on something your did, a teacher, etc..?

pure hare
#

Kinda a family friend. It would mainly be a reiteration of fit

rain jetty
#

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?

#

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?

Is it recommended to mention acceptances to other universities in my waitlist update essay

#

(fyi I am in the MIT waitlist)

idle trout
# knotty sentinel 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?

knotty sentinel
#

well u want to convince the college that ur going to yield

#

and mentioning other colleges does the opposite of that

i dont wanna share my loci detial in public

# idle trout So basically I have been accepted to Cambridge university for maths, but cambrid...

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
