Waitlist WINNING

[covert stream]

it’s a very hard decision

[knotty sentinel]

which is cheaper

[covert stream]

i’m getting mixed messages

they’re the same price

[knotty sentinel]

r u set on engineering

[covert stream]

idk

prob

[knotty sentinel]

then olin

if theres even the slightest bit of doubt, uf

[covert stream]

bro it’s not that easy tho 😭

[knotty sentinel]

did u visit them

[covert stream]

i don’t wanna turn down like t5 undergrad engineeeing just because i had doubts

that’s crazy

ya i visited both

[knotty sentinel]

then olin

orrr we could just go to harvard together 😛

[covert stream]

ideal scenario

[covert stream]

but uf is also good

and it’s close to home

and big

[knotty sentinel]

try #954425230896545792

[covert stream]

alr did 😭

[pure hare]

In a moment of stupidity and curiosity I submitted the opt in to Dartmouths waitlist again wondering if it would still work even though it's past the opt in deadline and they already received my response. Would they view this action negatively at all?

[knotty sentinel]

no

[pure hare]

Good

[lilac vine]

Not that good in engineering

So if ur dead set on engineering like me prob choose the better engineering college, unless coa is a big enough concern

[covert stream]

no but it lowkey is good for engineering

and also idk if i’m dead set on it

[velvet mesa]

Day 3 of manifesting princeton

[lilac vine]

Ik rankings are not everything but it is barely t50 for engineering. It is good enough but if coa is the same and you like both equally do pick the t5 engineering programme over uf

It’s Uty ultimately but do commit to one before the deadline

[still niche]

dumb question bc ik i shouldve sent in my loci already, but would it be helpful to explain why i would turn down my current college for theirs if accepted of wl? (reasons like rural location, class offerings, etc)

[pure hare]

No need to badmouth your other school or even mention it

[still niche]

not badmouthing js a reason why

[stray mango]

no need

[lilac vine]

Don’t even mention ur current college, a loci is meant to express that u will go there, along with additional info and whatnot

[still niche]

alright thank u!

[weak gorge]

is stanford moving yet

please speed i need this rejection

[glacial glen]

wont move weekend prolly next wk

bro I just won another poster presentation award at a conference today but would it be weird to send a separate update after sending LOCIs? It wouldn't add too much to my file too i suppose

[velvet merlin]

Anyone know anything for Babson?

They start After May 1

So ig in an hour

[bleak tangle]

nah admissions offices don't work on weekends

[velvet merlin]

Are u sure?

I think decisions still come?

[bleak tangle]

yeah admissions officers are people too

I mean they could be working but that'll prob be spent discussing no?

[velvet merlin]

I asked Claude and it said that the office isn’t open

But there are still chances where they can send acceptances

[rigid topaz]

@velvet merlin did you also get wl?

Anyone who got Babson waitlisted off

[velvet merlin]

Yeah

[glacial glen]

they wont do anything on the weekend lol

this is common ball knowledge cmon

monday they may

[ionic scroll]

me when carnegie mellon released decisions on a weekend

😢😢😢

[knotty sentinel]

uh oh yale is moving

for any other warriors they were moving as late as may 12 last yr

[twilit marsh]

living up to the always grinding

[knotty sentinel]

i dont want to be always grinding 💔 💔

[velvet mesa]

:0

[glossy granite]

GOOD LUCK YALE WAITLIST WARRIORS. BOOLA BOOLA

[knotty sentinel]

the guy who was deciding between cmu and yale went to yale 💔 💔 💔

[clear lynx]

gng just go to cmu

its better than yale

like very much so

[knotty sentinel]

yale is cheaper 😢

and i fear i love the architecture 🫢

[clear lynx]

oh

are you getting no aid at CMU

[knotty sentinel]

no i got some but yale gives more

[clear lynx]

oh ok

[knotty sentinel]

the main problem with cmu is if i do a yr of cs and decide i rlly hate it theres no exit

[clear lynx]

fair enough that was my gripe with uw-seattle

[knotty sentinel]

congrats on gt btw!!

[ionic scroll]

worst case you become a business major like me after i dropped ece

😢🙏

cmu business is great though

[knotty sentinel]

the building is amazing

[ionic scroll]

omg ya right

i loved it sm

but the cs building was of awe

gates building 😣🤤

[knotty sentinel]

its a maze tho 🥴

[ionic scroll]

that’s true… but WAIT THE THEATER BUILDING

they were shooting something the day i toured

it was like awesome

[knotty sentinel]

wait where

[clear lynx]

tysm

[ionic scroll]

in the theater building

[knotty sentinel]

was that on the tour

[ionic scroll]

yes! well the ad was unplanned

[velvet mesa]

Day 4 of manifesting princeton

[knotty sentinel]

day something of manifesting harvard

[bleak tangle]

day something of manifesting any one of my waitlists

[livid ore]

day something of manifesting for all waitlist warriors to get into at least one

[sweet pulsar]

duke and duke kushan lowkey different

[drifting cedar]

Reddit post?

[knotty sentinel]

yea

[drifting cedar]

I remember commenting on that lol Yale's 100% the better choice

[knotty sentinel]

not for me 😭 😭

[drifting cedar]

Yh ig it's different for everyone

[knotty sentinel]

i meant if he picked cmu he would have opened a yale spot to help out the waitlist warriors

[bleak tangle]

okay yeah the inverse isn't really true

[rain jetty]

Filho

[drifting cedar]

are you going to carnegie for CS?

[knotty sentinel]

ya

[drifting cedar]

😭

ur set

[rigid topaz]

Damn nice

@velvet merlin what is ur major

And what are ur other options

[velvet merlin]

Entreprenuership

[velvet merlin]

I commited to SLU but still waiting on VTech

And Babson

[glacial glen]

after waitlist acceptances do they give u time to send official standardized test scores?

[stray mango]

duke kunshan's yield is prolly super low compared to duke, so it makes sense the waitlist moves faster

[bleak tangle]

day idk of manifesting an acceptance from one of my waitlists 🙏

the month of may (in terms of office hours) has officially begun

[velvet mesa]

Day 5 of manifesting princeton

[knotty sentinel]

day something of manifesting harvard

[solid quarry]

Guys anyone knows about Amherst college waitlist?

[spiral badge]

day 1 of manifesting umich (im not going if i get in but that'd be cool to get in)

[solid quarry]

GANG ME TOO AKHH AND AMHERST

[spiral badge]

LOL nice

where'd you commit?

[solid quarry]

Vanderbilt

[spiral badge]

holy shit what else could you want

😭😭😭

what an amazing university

congrats!

[weak gorge]

[spiral badge]

stanford waitlist is insane

😭

[weak gorge]

they faded me so hard

i wouldn’t go tho

[spiral badge]

bro that's sick one girl applied rea stanford and got rejected

[spiral badge]

[solid quarry]

Amherst…, pleasee. Med school feeder

[spiral badge]

[solid quarry]

HOLYY

[solid quarry]

[solid quarry]

[spiral badge]

[solid quarry]

DAMNNN, well that’s kind of pre-med ish

[spiral badge]

i don't wanna be a doctor

[spiral badge]

im going into research

[solid quarry]

Okayy future nobel prize winner

[spiral badge]

next emmanuelle charpentier right here

she and jennifer doudna discovered cripsr gene editing & won a chemistry nobel prize together

[solid quarry]

DAMNNN…

Even an ibo medalist cant compete with that

[weak gorge]

cuz they public policy is kinda chopped

compared to GU

it would be so silly if i got in tho

[lavish stag]

I have a friend who just received an email from Umich!! She got off the waitlist!! So there is still hope!

[tame galleon]

anyone got off caltech wl?

[lavish stag]

I haven't heard of anyone yet

They will probably start contacting this week

[tame galleon]

aight thanks

i mean its also pretty probable that they dont take any off the wl this year

[solid quarry]

Their yield is pretty high, but I think they will tho

Anyone heard from Amherst?

[tame galleon]

dont they have the lowest yield rate in t20?

i thought it was like 40%

[lavish stag]

Honestly, the waitlist is pure luck! One year, they take 11 people and the other 3, so we never know 🥲

[solid quarry]

Isnt it UChicago no?

[tame galleon]

doesn't uchicago have the highest 😭

[solid quarry]

Oh yeah, MB!

[tame galleon]

because of ed1 and ed2

[solid quarry]

Even ed0…

[tame galleon]

oh right

[bitter mist]

Pitzer email about waitlist still being active 🌚

If you take me you better give me money 👿

[lavish stag]

Guys, I was talking with a couple of people on the waitlist who have gotten off, and one of them told me to 'Have Your Guidance Counselor Make an Advocacy Call,' like, ask my counselor to send an email to the college that I'm waitlisted at, saying that it is my top choice. What do you think?"

[pure hare]

Can the other Claremont colleges say that plz

[pure hare]

From what I've seen and read, unless your school has a relationship with the school it doesn't rlly help or make a difference

[bitter mist]

It does work but only if your school has a relationship with the college

My college counselor helped someone try and get off the Georgetown waitlist by calling and she got off successfully so

And she’s doing a favor for my friend who’s also her college advisee

[lavish stag]

Thanks guys!!

[velvet merlin]

Guys waitlist movement starts be strong yall got this

[rain saddle]

bowdoin waitlist closed

[grizzled cape]

was it ever even open?? 😭😭 closed four days after may 1st

[tiny arrow]

i thought they said we can stay on it, they just don’t anticipate taking anyone off

[rain saddle]

oh hey maybe yours is different

[tiny arrow]

oh…!

[rain saddle]

idk reread it let me know

[tiny arrow]

hold up

[rain saddle]

oh shit it is different

i guess you were better than me

[tiny arrow]

im sorry bro

[rain saddle]

it’s okayyy

i was never meant for the big leagues

✌️😜

[glossy granite]

maybe ppl who can still stay were like near the "top choices" for waitlist

aw well rip

best of luck to you both lets hope some ppl change mind last second and get off waitlist somewhere else

[tiny arrow]

stop this raised my hopes by .01%

[tiny arrow]

thanks

[glossy granite]

smith is great thoo ive heard amazing things about it

its such a community centered college and i really regret not applying

[tiny arrow]

yes im very excited for smith!

[rain saddle]

haha yeah let’s see what cornell says

[glossy granite]

cornell has had lotss of movement

[rain saddle]

imagine tomorrow i’m the first waitlisted applicant to get kicked out 🥹

[glossy granite]

cornell cas possible winning 👀

[rain saddle]

yeah so i didn’t get anything and uhh

chud status confirmed

[glossy granite]

its okay, not mid may yet

whats your top choice rn? from ones you got into

[rain saddle]

i only got 1

and it’s my safety

😼

[glossy granite]

W safeties always coming in clutch

i got waitlisted by my own safety 🥀

[rain saddle]

i sure hope so 😭😭

[glossy granite]

you seem to have a lotta waitlists so maybe you have a good chance?

lets manifest your bowdoin email

we will go into the lac channel and purposefully say bad things about bowdoin to convince ppl not to go!

[tiny arrow]

please

[pure hare]

The whole 5cs seem so cool. I'm waitlisted for one rn and rlly hope to get off

[rain saddle]

me or uh

[glossy granite]

yes you

bowdoin and cornell waitlist is kinda impressive still

you mustve had a pretty good application

[rain saddle]

oh haha no lol i alr got rejected from bowdoin

[glossy granite]

ohh mb

i thought you were on the waitlist

[rain saddle]

rejected off the waitlist

🫠

first applicant

lowkey tuff

[glossy granite]

cornell should have decent chance tho

what major

[rain saddle]

design

[glossy granite]

yield!!!!!

[rain saddle]

its soooooo random haha

[glossy granite]

you have a good shot

as long as locis good

and you lied abt how theyre your dream

[rain saddle]

yield protect off the waitlist is wild 😭✌️

[rain saddle]

oh man i did so much

[glossy granite]

thats good then

design shouldnt be competitive i think

at least compared to other cornell majors like cs

[glossy granite]

would you go over smith?

[tiny arrow]

for a sec i thought you were talking about the claremont colleges 😭

[rain saddle]

i did a lot for bowdoin too but look where it got me 😭✌️

[rain saddle]

i hopeeeee

[pure hare]

I am!

[rain saddle]

design only has 40 ppl per class too

[glossy granite]

they mustve sent the email to the wrong person!!!!!!

[tiny arrow]

probably

[rain saddle]

i love you

ur like

my angel on the shoulder

[glossy granite]

the b in your name must stand for bowdoin

[tiny arrow]

oh smith isn’t in claremont so i got confused

[glossy granite]

the s in sophia is stanford so sophia will DROP the bowdoin waitlist for stanfy

[tiny arrow]

maybe youre thinking of scripps

[rain saddle]

woah stanford waitlist too?

oh my

[pure hare]

Oh whoops mixed it up with scripps lol

[glossy granite]

no i made it up

🤫

[rain saddle]

🥹

[tiny arrow]

😭 no

[glossy granite]

stanford waitlist is near impossible tho

[rain saddle]

i love your delusion

i think i got

yield protected

from all the 18 schools i applied to

[glossy granite]

the ivys yield protectionthis year was genuinely insane

uchicago yield protected me ed1 bc they knew i wouldve broken my ed for somewhere better

[rain saddle]

haha i know someone who turned down stanford for harvard

[tiny arrow]

smith was the only non safety i got into

[rain saddle]

so that’s -1

[glossy granite]

ooh dang

[rain saddle]

i have yet to get into a non safety

am i chud level

[glossy granite]

ive heard of ppl turning down mit for stanny cuz cali alawys has the weather advantage

[rain saddle]

i wanted cali so bad man

i hate the cold

[glossy granite]

it depends what you see as a safety

[rain saddle]

where i’m from is way up north haha

[glossy granite]

some ppl call the 50% colleges a safety but i think those r more like targets 😭

unless your safety is a cc

[rain saddle]

my safety is 46%

the one i got into

[glossy granite]

oh come on

[rain saddle]

but like

i was guaranteed basically

✌️🥹

[tiny arrow]

son

[glossy granite]

bro ok 💔

my new safety is harvard university

[rain saddle]

mom

[rain saddle]

wait what waitlists are you on

[velvet mesa]

Ive been seeing a lot of ppl turn down pton this yr

Maybe theres hope

[tiny arrow]

college admissions are not real actually

[tiny arrow]

bowdoin and wellesley

[rain saddle]

sheesh good luck for wellesley!

[knotty sentinel]

anything from ivies yet

[rain saddle]

cornell

[knotty sentinel]

nothing for me yet

hmmm

says cornell rolls the emails in waves

[red raft]

No JHU movement 🙁

[velvet merlin]

Bro didn’t hear anything yet

[red raft]

I neeeeeeed this

[velvet merlin]

You u jump off a bridge to get off the waitlist?

[red raft]

I probably survive so yes

[velvet merlin]

Same

[pure hare]

I would do that

[velvet mesa]

Same

[rain saddle]

i would

[flat solar]

If there was water in the bottom…

[pure hare]

I made a waitlist playlist on Spotify

[velvet merlin]

Send bro

I need it

[pure hare]

Unfortunately it would be from my account containing my real name

[velvet merlin]

Ok ur good

[pure hare]

Also I got updates:
ucsd: nothing
UCLA: small waves Friday and Saturday
CMC: 5 off over a week ago with alleged "good yield so far"
Dartmouth: nothing

[knotty sentinel]

cornell began* moving today

[velvet merlin]

How dyk?

[knotty sentinel]

redditors

and the official website

[clear lynx]

Shit I didn’t get anything

No one in disc got off Cornell WL I don’t think

[knotty sentinel]

me neither

its ok bc harv is coming 🤞

[clear lynx]

I’m CAS too so might be cooked

[knotty sentinel]

me too

did u visit gt yet

[clear lynx]

Yes in Feb

Right after I got in

[knotty sentinel]

did u like it

[velvet mesa]

Someone got off uci wl tdy

[rain saddle]

what am i gonna do with my bowdoin sweater man

shoulda just rejected my ass on the spot instead of waiting a whole 1 day in 😭✌️

[velvet mesa]

Burn it

Or sell it

[rain saddle]

bowdoin is so unknown i doubt anyone would want it here

[buoyant dust]

Give 2 me

Nathaniel hawthorne went to bowdoin and i love nathaniel hawthorne

[pure hare]

This is why I'm firmly against getting college merch of a college you aren't going to with rare exceptions

[rain saddle]

ahem harvard

everybody and they momma own a harvard sweat

[pure hare]

Idc I'm not owning one until I'm in law school

[rain saddle]

omg good luck

law people are so interesting

completely different world than the one i’m surrounded in

very stem pilled hs i go to

[pure hare]

Im so superstitious about this stuff lol

[rain saddle]

gosh maybe that’s why i was the first to be rejected

the admissions officer saw me buy it too

like we crossed paths in the shop

it all makes sense now

[pure hare]

Lmao

[rain saddle]

uh can’t believe i did all that

i’m just gonna love the school i’m committed to from now on

no professing unrequited love anymore

[pure hare]

I mean unless he asked for your name it doesnt rlly do anything

[rain saddle]

she did

😔

fuhhhh

[pure hare]

Aw

[rain saddle]

also she greeted me in the admissions office with “oh you’re the one on the waitlist huh!”

so uh

😭✌️

[pure hare]

Lmao who told her about you

[rain saddle]

i have no idea

i also emailed her my loci and she ghosted me

same thing for cornell

[pure hare]

Oop

[rain saddle]

guess they really hate my guts huh

providence sucks anyway

🖕

boring ass town

boring ahh school too the town around it is decrepit and old

[modern arrow]

waitlists are evil because you’re normally committed somewhere else you’ve started loving

[pure hare]

I had a similar interaction with a cmc AO. He was leading a tour and asked what I was doing. I said I was on the waitlist and on a self guided tour to add to my loci. He was rlly nice about it, asked for my name, and even said "I'm sure I'll see you again"

[rain saddle]

wow i hope that’s true for you

i really do

someone’s gotta win in life if i’m taking all the losses

[pure hare]

I mentioned him in my loci lol

[rain saddle]

law of conservation type shit

[pure hare]

I hope things do turn out well for you

[rain saddle]

lil late for that lol

i’ll do my best in undergrad

[pure hare]

Complete agreement

[rain saddle]

then escape

i gotta start loving my school man

[pure hare]

Yes! Also if you rlly don't like it transfer is an option

[rain saddle]

it’s really hard to though

[rain saddle]

ugh so much effort lolz

good part is my school is practically free

cornell would’ve been 90k and bowdoin 60k

[pure hare]

Ik especially when you feel like freaking Cornell is still an option lol

[rain saddle]

and it’s okay

[rain saddle]

“when i feel like” ayt im packing it up 🫩

cornell is not rlly an option financially anymore bc my parents said they want me to go but that it would be a strain on their finances

so i should mentally commit but having such a hard time

where are you committed?

[pure hare]

I'm feeling very similar. It's hard to feel excited for Davis when sd and la still feel possible. And atp I feel like I'd like a liberal arts school is more my vibe which is like cmc or even Dartmouth

[rain saddle]

omg davis?

my friend is going there

u gonna meet him

[pure hare]

Ay nice

[rain saddle]

gosh i yearn for the cali sun

anything for california bro

it’s been my dream since i was 7

guess i’m destined for the snow

[pure hare]

I'm the opposite lol. I live here and I wanna experience actual winter

[rain saddle]

try getting sick 8 times a winter and tell me what that feels like

people here love winter but not me

never into winter sports and i always loved the heat

even when it’s like 110 degrees out i still enjoy it

plus everyone from california is cool and awesome

😣

[knotty sentinel]

davis seems nice

[pure hare]

I think the east coast is so cool. Everyone dresses so well (cause winter fits are just better lol) and I love how older everything looks and feels

[knotty sentinel]

my current school is eh bc the program is good but student life is fried by the workload

[pure hare]

What is it?

[knotty sentinel]

cmu scs

[pure hare]

Oh right

[modern arrow]

samezies

lowkey i like west coast style more bc i like shorts

[glossy granite]

yale and uchicago have the best merch tbh

i love love love the uchicago font so much

too bad they rejected me ed1 i wouldve lovedd the white on crison colors its perfect

[glossy granite]

WHATTTT

thats insane work broo

but it might be like. good if they recognize yuo by face?? you were a memorable applicant above the others

[glossy granite]

its so so so bad for roomming

[solid quarry]

Anyone heard from Amherst???

[silk scroll]

IM FAMOUS

[knotty sentinel]

man cornell is moving and i have no emails 😔

[solid quarry]

Gsy….

[lavish stag]

I saw in a Reddit post that someone called them and that they had no movement yet

[solid quarry]

Thankss

[solid quarry]

Do u mind giving me the link

[lavish stag]

No problem! Let me see if I can find!

[glacial glen]

Have they not moved yet?

[red raft]

Someone should call JHU 👀

[glacial glen]

chill chill JHU might not even move at all

remember that one year

[chilly drum]

Any movement on nyu waitlist

[rain saddle]

day 1 of manifesting corn on my table tomorrow

[red raft]

I’d genuinely DIE

[rain saddle]

ts happened to me

for my other waitlist

🥹

[rain saddle]

r u gonna call someone or

[knotty sentinel]

i declined my acceptance so gl 🫡

[livid ore]

i thought it comes out in waves

wouldn’t it be next week after the wl ppl decline/accept their spot

[rain saddle]

oh i hope

may 10 here i come

[velvet mesa]

Day 6 manifesting princeton

[sweet pulsar]

div 1 lie

nvm im a tweaker

[glossy granite]

started 2 days ago

some ppl got calls for cas

idk abt engineering tho

[livid ore]

https://tenor.com/view/meditation-gif-17436395583685247793

day 1 of reaching inner peace and falling in love w the school im committed to

[velvet mesa]

This

[pure hare]

Ya for me that's gotta wait at least a week. I'm actually gonna go insane

[lone drift]

berkeley waitlist is moving!!!! what a miracle

[knotty sentinel]

did u get in

[lean knoll]

any nyu movement

?

[glacial glen]

has there been any vandy movement

[glacial glen]

rip which school?

[glacial glen]

FR i'd flip out

I genuinely hope it moves

[rain saddle]

bowdoin

[glacial glen]

noo im sry abt that

[pure hare]

Kinda scared cmc or Dartmouth is gonna pull the no movement card

I mean I basically have no hope for Dartmouth but for cmc it's still there

[glacial glen]

dartmouth doesnt have good waitlit movement?

i figured a lotta ppl who get in end up going to hypsm

idk abt their yield

lmao this is a random question but should I add my current commitment school to my ig bio or wait until all waitlist movement is over ☠️

[pure hare]

Not usually, most in recent years has been 27. They over enroll by at least 500 and then then there are over 1,000 on the waitlist

[glacial glen]

shoot thats a small amount 😭 I think they'll at least have one small wave this yr so hopefully u get off

i think colleges that had 0 movement were during covid year

[pure hare]

I feel this so much. I haven't added my committed school to my bio, sent a post to my schools account, and I don't even want merch. Rlly don't care for any of it at this point. But that would change if I got off a waitlist

[glacial glen]

yeah i feel kinda disappointed with the school I'm going to even though I know its still decent. It feels embarrassing sometimes and ppl always ask where I'm going ☠️

I was kinda forced to make my commitment public because my school forces ppl in the top 10 to

[pure hare]

Ya similar, I mean people literally choose ucd over ucsd, heck for veterinary science people would choose it over ivies. But honestly at this point I believe I'd be happier at ucsd or any of my other waitlisted schools. It's not about prestige anymore, it's about fit and where I think I'll be happy

[hearty grotto]

dude if emory gets me off waitlist ill shit my pants

[clear lynx]

Didn’t yoh get the duke WL email

[glacial glen]

naw that was someone else

[clear lynx]

Ahh

Well I hope you do bro

[glacial glen]

i havent gotten anything yet

😭

[clear lynx]

But UT is still goated

[glacial glen]

thank u bro u too

[glacial glen]

ya true

should I put UT in my bio

[clear lynx]

Ig bio?

Farm followers method fr

[glacial glen]

UCD still a great school I know really smart ppl there but ya I get what u feel

[glacial glen]

yeah 😭

but itll be cooked if ppl asked me "why did u change ur school"

nah its fine i could just say i got off waitlist

[candid terrace]

which UCs have begun letting people off the waitlist so far?

I know irvine and la have started already

[bleak tangle]

I think ucb as well

[pure hare]

UCSD seems like the main one that has been 0

[glacial glen]

Has vandy moved

[hot cove]

swarthmore sent an non update today iirc

[bitter mist]

rocking back and forth Pitzer just lmk what you wanna do man 💔

[sweet pulsar]

no

most people who apply dartmouth and get in its usually their top choice

like dartmouth is self selecting enough

[sweet pulsar]

yes my friend got off

[sweet pulsar]

uc davis is no 1 for vet science and since they bias their students heavily a lot of people want to go there if ur a pre vet

[pure hare]

Ya, thing is I'm not lol

[sweet pulsar]

u could always pivot

but yes i lowk understand ucsd appeal

the apartments and the location 😻

sdsu for parties

[buoyant timber]

any wl movement from princeton? i saw a post about overenrollment earlier 😭

[sweet pulsar]

nothing probably gonna move until later

[pure hare]

Ya one of the reasons I'm rlly grateful to be waitlisted. Getting on the waitlist there rlly caused me to reevaluate what I want and where I fit best. Now I regret not applying to colleges that are more liberal arts

[velvet merlin]

Anyone here apply to Babson?

[glacial glen]

Dang Dartmouth is good at selecting

[pure hare]

Unfortunately for me they are

[solid quarry]

Anything from amherst??

[lone drift]

dartmouth pleaseeeeeeeeee

save meeeeee

[tame galleon]

i have seen like 4 ppl get off caltech

it might be over

[rain saddle]

you got duke twinnn chill

[brittle crystal]

any amherst or ND movements

[flat solar]

nothing from ND here

[brittle crystal]

ND started at most May 6 last yr according to reddit lol

[solid quarry]

Nopee, maybe they wont take anyone from the waitlist

[brittle crystal]

for which school

they would've informed ppl if they did close imo

bowdoin did right after may 1 right

[solid quarry]

Amherst, cuz no one heard from them so far. Even last year they called someone from the waitlist on may 1

[brittle crystal]

The uk counselor right

I cross checked her post from last yr

[solid quarry]

What did u find?

[brittle crystal]

The post date was may 4th or smth and she mentioned that her student got off yesterday at the time

So i guess she confused it

[rigid topaz]

Why hasn't Babson sent out their decision yet

@velvet merlin any idea when they release it

I will email them

[velvet merlin]

I saw Reddit and 2 ppl already got theirs

[rigid topaz]

Damn nice

🙏🏻🙏🏻

Babson goat

Lemme get into u

Nxb, do you also want to get into Ib/finance

[velvet merlin]

I chose entrepreneurship but finance is my 2nd choice

[velvet merlin]

@rigid topaz we both getting in trust if we don’t get in they missed out

[rigid topaz]

Did they not already give you offer?

[velvet merlin]

Wait you got off?

No I didn’t get in yet

But from a Reddit post they said they’re sending an email to everyone about where they fall

[rigid topaz]

No i didn't

I thought u got in

[velvet merlin]

Oh

[rigid topaz]

When did u send ur loci

[clear lynx]

Friend got off WashU wl

[velvet merlin]

Like beginning of April

[rigid topaz]

Damn

Are u asking for aid

What are ur other options

[velvet merlin]

I chose not to ask for aid cuz I thought I’d have a better chance of getting in

[velvet merlin]

I commited to SLU

[rigid topaz]

Oh i did. They are too expensive for me

[rigid topaz]

That's nice

[velvet merlin]

Ngl it’s kinda expensive for me my dad was stressing a bit when I applied Ed

But yeah net costs and everything end up at 80k total

[red raft]

Guys you think JHU waitlist acceptances dropping tmr since they did it on this Thursday last year?????? Or maybe Friday so the dates match up exactly??? 🤤👀

[velvet merlin]

@rigid topaz based on babson 2030 ig page there’s only 195 commited so far

Holy shit I got off the waitlist for VTech

[high fulcrum]

any movement for georgetown

[modern arrow]

i feel like yield was pretty high

i haven’t heard of any georgetown

[modern arrow]

i think a bunch of people got off lately

congrats yay

[velvet merlin]

Thanks king

[twilit sky]

bro

i got off uiuc waitlist

what the fuck

[glossy granite]

AYYYYYY CONGRATS

for aerospace right?

would you choose it over purdue

i feel like purdue aero is rlly rlly up there

[pure hare]

With each passing day I'm losing a bit of my sanity

[velvet merlin]

Have hope I got off vtech today

[pure hare]

What is hope if not fleeting

[lilac vine]

Same 😭

[glacial glen]

same im desperately considering sending a followup email 😭

but i dont wanna annoy them

i just gotta accept my fate

[pure hare]

Don't send a follow up unless you actually have something to follow up with

[glacial glen]

i got one update but its already really similar to one of my current honors

so i dont think itll help

and i just sent my locis lmao

like 2 weeks ago

[pure hare]

I'm rlly hoping rn for a senior award at my school I could put on. My school does this strange thing where part of how valedictorian is a vote and I wanted to vote for people who were waitlisted

[glacial glen]

thats a W

I won a prize at a research conference but like idk if its worth adding cuz I also got one at a more prestigious conference in my honors section

[pure hare]

I got an invite so I'm being honored for something but I think it's just nhs and AP capstone

[glacial glen]

and I kinda think colleges are shying away from the whole research narrative ngl

[glacial glen]

shoot I hope u get the award tho

ive honestly stopped hoping for waitlist acceptances

[pure hare]

There's a lot of them lol, hope for something interesting to put on

[pure hare]

Similar, I know I need to stop but it's hard knowing movement is happening but also barely started

[glacial glen]

has it actually barely started?

I lowkey feel like ive seen so many ppl get off

[pure hare]

I mean it depends on the school

[glacial glen]

for duke theres been 2 waves already 😭

vanderbilt, rice, and washu all already had waves

[pure hare]

For mine ucla had some small waves and cmc allegedly had 5 off in April and silence since. UCSD has been silent and statistically it's the one I'm most likely to get off

I think Cornell and maybe also Columbia

[glacial glen]

i think yale

cornell fs

[glacial glen]

yeah washu statistically best for me too

i got waitlisted with legacy lmfao

[pure hare]

Dartmouth if at all may be June

[glacial glen]

wait r u chisq

[pure hare]

I got rejected at my legacy schools

[glacial glen]

no shot ur chilling at duke tho

i desperately want duke or washu

if I get off 😭

[pure hare]

Idc which at this point, I'd be happy with any

[glacial glen]

ik two ppl in my city who withdrew duke

idk if that matters

[glacial glen]

lmao same tbh

[candid terrace]

oh my days i’m oj the waitlist for berkeley

[glacial glen]

yeah ima just stop thinking abt it

[candid terrace]

waitlists come out in waves right for ucs?

[glacial glen]

im so ready to graduate lmfao

[pure hare]

I mean repression of thought doesnt rlly work. Distract yourself or just think about it till your able to stop

[glacial glen]

i lowkey didnt think much abt it until i got home

cuz at school im distracted

[pure hare]

The best part about waitlists is the math

Like it's fun going to common data set and calculating stuff

[flat solar]

Fun and sad at the same time

[glacial glen]

Fun if we get off 😭😭

[velvet mesa]

Day 7 of manifesting princeton

[silk scroll]

dartmotuh decisions come out soon am nervous

[pure hare]

Transfer?

[silk scroll]

ye

[pure hare]

Good luck

[modest kite]

aim i cooked for depending on the waitlists for cornell, rice, unc chapel hill, and umich

[spiral badge]

im also waiting for umich 💔

not waiting but waiting to hear back im probably declining it for uw madison instead

[velvet merlin]

Waitlist acceptance rate is 1% gl gang

[spiral badge]

gng it's ok im planning on denying it anyway

[velvet merlin]

Lowkey I respect that UMich is an overrated school

[spiral badge]

yeah plus it'll cost my parents 25k+ more to send me there

💀

and uw madison has a better program for my major anyway

[velvet merlin]

Yeah it’s like 80-100k

[velvet merlin]

What major?

[spiral badge]

yeah my parents can't do that much as an intl

[spiral badge]

microbiology

[velvet merlin]

Nice

[spiral badge]

wby

[sand belfry]

I JUST GOT OFF THE FUCKING BARNARD WAITLIST

[solid quarry]

Anyone heard from Amherst?

[solid quarry]

Congratss qwennnn

[bleak tangle]

the fact that I saw your in server profile change in real time

[sand belfry]

LMAOOO

[spiral badge]

GOATEDDD

[tiny arrow]

god i see what you have done to others

[brittle crystal]

might be courtesy wl

ughgh can wls also js

drop all at once

[lament jacinth]

dartmouth usually has a higher yield than other ivies so we rarely pull off waitlist

also bc being smaller makes it easier to get the numbers exactly right

[pure hare]

From the numbers it seems like they are anticipating around an 69% yield

[glacial glen]

wdym lol

[brittle crystal]

https://youtu.be/TlH7PbaGkaA?si=XDEOhEZDCVAviJzs&t=108

but who knows

[glacial glen]

1540 sat, 4.0 gpa UW, isef finalist, multiple national research conference awards and publications in combination with legacy. I doubt i was a courtesy waitlist.

I just messed up on my essays i think

ts was one of my dream schools 😭

[velvet merlin]

Ok now we gotta wait for Babson

[velvet merlin]

What school

[glacial glen]

washu in st louis

I suppose my essays were not the strongest and I applied RD which may not get the legacy boost

[velvet merlin]

WashU is rlly hard

I got rejected

[glacial glen]

yeah i was disappointed cuz I thought i had the stats and ecs + legacy

but again its very unpredictable

[velvet merlin]

You prolly got unlucky

[glacial glen]

literally everyone in my city got waitlisted too

so I think its a geographical thing

[velvet merlin]

Yeah

[glacial glen]

is babson an entrepreneurship prorgram?

[velvet merlin]

Yeah

[twilit marsh]

what the

[glacial glen]

ya I went 0/10 this cycle it was brutal

6 waitlists 4 rejects

and i had my current school which I got in EA as an auto admit

[twilit marsh]

what the

[solid quarry]

This cycle is brutal af

[glacial glen]

I didnt wanna be like egotistical or anything but I genuinely thought I'd at least get into one place with my stats and ecs alone but i think apps r changing

[velvet merlin]

@rigid topaz babson just sent an email looks like it’s highly unlikely to get off the waitlist

[glossy granite]

i think its because they didnt apply early decision

their stats are definitely up there and worth an acceptance esp compared to the average stats of a washu accepted student

but with legacy most schools expect you to ed and no school wants to be the second choice

idk i saw that theory with someone on reddit a2c who didnt get in northwestern w good stats and 3x legacy in rd

washu also cares a lotttt abt essays. i was rejected ed2 w 3.91 1560 and i think it was the essays

[rigid topaz]

What email they sent you??

Pls share

[glossy granite]

but this happening to isef finalist is kinda crazy

[rigid topaz]

I didn't get any email

[glossy granite]

depends on how many reaches but like if some of these were targets/safeties then thats just rlly strange

but i think its that apps have gotten sm more competitive and these stats are just the new norm for t30s

[glacial glen]

I’d say they were all reaches

Waitlist: Penn, Duke, washu, vandy, rice, and JHU

[glossy granite]

that makes a lot more sense

[glacial glen]

And I got rejected from HYPS

[glossy granite]

reaches are really a coinflip with any stats

seems like you got unlucky but maybe one of those locis were rlly good and can get you off!

[glacial glen]

im still going to a t30 but I desperately wanna get off a waitlist

[glossy granite]

thats good to hear

sending you alll my luck then and remember undergrad doesnt matter if youre going to grad school

plus t30 will always have good name in job market

you still did well

[glacial glen]

thank you!! ya im premed so it isnt too bad

[glacial glen]

Thank you! also congrats on udub!

[glossy granite]

thank you!!!

[clear lynx]

I have friend that got off WashU WL

I think that’s moving

[red raft]

JHU please 🙏😓🤤

Bro on their website they said that accepted waitlisted students have until June 1 to accept their offer so they have to release them soon right???

[solid quarry]

Anyone heard from Amherst?

[pure hare]

Has the cmc waitlist moved since may 1st?

[glacial glen]

yup and its not moving for me

[bitter mist]

Pitzer waitlist if you hear me

🧘‍♀️

[pure hare]

Why are the Claremont colleges being so quiet 😭

[velvet mesa]

Day 8 of manifesting princeton

[bitter mist]

Genuinely

Pitzer needs to lock in and tell me yes or no

Bucknell and Lafayette too but I care way less

[pure hare]

Same with me and cmc

And preferably a yes

[knotty sentinel]

lot of duke movement

little bit of cornell

yale is a maybe

no harvard or columbia yet

[lean knoll]

https://waitlist-watch.vercel.app/#nyu

😭

[pure hare]

CMC ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFO

[rain jetty]

another vibecoded college admissions website 💔

[rain saddle]

holy you’re getting in

[pure hare]

Only annoying thing is my folks need to get the info and it's not on hand

[rain jetty]

fyi for brown

my counselorr was texted by an AO friend of theres aaasking if I was still interested, and told him that I should send the LOCI ASAP so he could get it in for committee

seems like committee started meeting yesterday

[leaden gazelle]

did princeton move???

[lean knoll]

accoriding to the website

yea

[leaden gazelle]

damn i thought they overenrolled

[glossy granite]

WWWWWW BEST OF LUCK

LOOKING GOOD LOOKING GOOD

👀

[pure hare]

Ya they requested info and my IDOC

I almost cried

Lmao

[clear lynx]

Good luck twin

Hope you get in

Please update us

[pure hare]

Ty I need it. They requested specific documents and requested me on idoc

[clear lynx]

They historically take 10% off waitlist too

As least that’s what they did last year

My friend is going there next fall

[pure hare]

I mean this at least for sure means the class is not full and they are considering people on the waitlist

I did a self guided tour there, it's amazing. I also would rlly like to go to a small liberal arts school

[clear lynx]

For sure sounds like a great place

[sturdy violet]

Fucla

[velvet mesa]

Omg

Pls princeton I need to get off

[modest kite]

i need to get off cornell bro

[velvet mesa]

But according to the website they were just admit

No calls or emailsM

How did they even know?

[modest kite]

for princeton?

[velvet mesa]

Yes

[modest kite]

thats crazy

[leaden gazelle]

prob just an email to notify them there is an update on their portol

that's how most schools do it

[velvet mesa]

Ok

Thats what i thought

Bit the ppl who reported didnt say that

[leaden gazelle]

yeah to be honest idk if the reports are real

haven't seen anyone actually talk bout it

[velvet mesa]

Thats true

They could be fake

Usually when ppl get off pton they receive a call

[modest kite]

have u committed elsewhere yet

[flat solar]

OHHH shoot

Just got off DKU WL

With a great aid

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[leaden gazelle]

yay congrats!!!

[leaden gazelle]

yeah but 3 cases is a lot

[pure hare]

My friend got off for Vanderbilt! They were so happy!

[velvet mesa]

Yes

Congrats!!

[hearty grotto]

Got off skidmore wl w

No emory movement yet ?

[lean knoll]

Some nyu movement i see

Nothing for tandon still

[modern arrow]

a girl from my hs also did

[glacial glen]

Damn congrats to them!

Did they send LOCI through portal?

I’m lowkey getting nothing out of my six waitlists I’m considering sending an email of interest rn 😭😭

[glacial glen]

Are waitlists still gonna move next week?

[pure hare]

They are gonna move from now until the school says it's full

Hoping to not have to wait till august, but that happens sometimes especially with these schools like UCs that start in September

[glacial glen]

frick bro i cant wait that long

im aggressively pursuing ts

[pure hare]

I feel that. Focus on having fun with senior things, Graduation, and summer. If nothing happens go to where you committed and if you rlly don't wanna be there transfer out!

Nothing is guaranteed nor set in stone

[weak gorge]

me with stanford lmfao

i think mine was a courtesy waitlist cause its not like im bad academically at all but i think they didn’t vibe wt me

[buoyant dust]

girll i got rejected w legacy...ur still kicking

[glacial glen]

rip we didnt get the legacy boost

its mostly for like ED tho right

[buoyant dust]

yeah

[elder tangle]

How much legacy

When brother sppliwd he got a WL with multi generational legacy

[buoyant dust]

My grandpa got his masters at stanford but in hindsight they probably wouldn't gaf

Idrgaf now though

[glacial glen]

lmao yeah u got cornell so ur chilling

[twilit marsh]

HOLY FUCK I GOT OFF THE CMU WAITLIST FOR CS

WHAT THE ACC FUCK

WHAT THE HELL

@knotty sentinel

[glacial glen]

YOOOO

[tiny arrow]

OMG CONGRATS

[clear lynx]

Holy shit congrats

[twilit marsh]

@slate sapphire

[glacial glen]

[clear lynx]

Fr

[sturdy violet]

HUHHHH

[slate sapphire]

CONGRATS

Are you gonna come

[twilit marsh]

they pushed me as far as possible

[twilit marsh]

bc waitlist is so rare tf

[clear lynx]

Same same but they let me off the WL tommorow

[modest kite]

congrats

[clear lynx]

You said it… ur her

[gilded rune]

OMG U ATE GOOD JOB 🙏🙏🙏🙏 even my cousin who goes to caltech didn’t get off the cmu wl for cs 😭😭

[twilit marsh]

bro noo ill gotta leave gt

[gilded rune]

Rip

It’s ok GT stinky anyways

And all my cs friends are skeletons

You will not be a skeleton !!

[twilit marsh]

isnt cmu worse in that regard

[clear lynx]

You’re gonna change that fr

[gilded rune]

Maybe but you’ll have more aura than at gt

[velvet mesa]

Congrats

[glossy granite]

HOLY CONGRATS

THATS AMAZING

CMU CS IS SO HARD TOO

YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF OMGGG

[bold delta]

Congrats!

[weak gorge]

it’s okay we are going to the #dream schools anyway

[sweet pulsar]

tough asl

should go

[twilit marsh]

tysm everyone 😭 🙏

[drifting cedar]

Legacy includes grad school?

[glacial glen]

it does but its like less of an advantage

[high fulcrum]

anybody hear of anyone getting off waitlist for georgetown msb

[rain jetty]

i think ao call/email means that an AO emailed/called u or your counselor to ask for information

rather than being the method of notification for admission

[dawn badge]

cmu cs is 🔥

still waiting to hear from engineering

[velvet mesa]

Ah ok

[weak gorge]

i know the GU waitlist has moved but i don’t know if it has for msb in particular

MSB has one of the higher yields unfortunately I think

[rain saddle]

holy fuck wtfffff

one in a gorillion

mega congrats dude

[glacial glen]

fr isnt it usually under 1% for cmu waitlist

[glossy granite]

we love to see that server name change

W

[grizzled cape]

its so funny how fast people change their names

people to their previously committed colleges:

https://tenor.com/view/woody-toy-story-i-don't-want-to-play-with-you-anymore-gif-1116642795181823087

[red raft]

Can waitlists move on weekends?

[solid quarry]

Nah

[pure hare]

Ok I found 1 other person on Reddit who also got the same request I did. I'm rlly curious if everyone applying for aid on the wl got it or if it means anything

[flat solar]

What uni?

[pure hare]

Claremont McKenna

[glossy granite]

i dont think thatd happen. theyre need blind after all so they could be calculating aid for those who theyre taking off

it seems weird to ask for the financial info of everyone on the waitlist before deciding who to accept

[lilac vine]

Maybe they are really tight on fin aid or have too much fin aid and their class profile in terms of ses is off

[pure hare]

No they are need aware for the waitlist

Which may actually be helpful lol. I'm not full pay but I hardly qualify for anything

[glossy granite]

ohh i see

ok then that makes sense

[glossy granite]

hopefully!!!

dartmouth is rumored

id be surprised if stanford and penn r moving

[dawn badge]

didnt someone from the stanford thread say theres confirmed movment?

also has anyone gotten off uiuc for computer engineering yet?

[pure hare]

So do they send an IDOC request to everyone?

[lilac vine]

They sneaked ucsc in

[glossy granite]

ucsc is def moving 😭

[glossy granite]

idk

i feel like they wouldnt tho

yours is prob a good sign

[sweet pulsar]

I think lying tbh

[velvet mesa]

Same

[weak gorge]

yeah i dont think stanford moved

[glossy granite]

did you write a loci for stanford?

idk how srsly stanford takes legacy but i feel like it should give you an advantage??

[weak gorge]

meh idgaf about stanford lowkey

i did but

[glossy granite]

i saw a video from tineoprep tho saying that stanford doesnt accept as many people who attend their summer camps/programs cuz they dont want it to seem like thers a backdoor

[glossy granite]

its expensive before law school anyway

i think oyu wanted to go to ls

[weak gorge]

nah

im not going to ls

ill either do 5 year MPP at GU or a masters at tufts/harvard

[glossy granite]

oh WW okay

at least we both get cherry blossoms near us

[sweet pulsar]

waitlists at top unis r pipe dreams

should be a surprise not like hoping for it every day

[glacial glen]

Isn’t Stanford’s waitlist not bad tho since they don’t waitlist too many ppl to begin with

[sweet pulsar]

its like 600 ppl

usually less than or 1% ish get off

[glacial glen]

Ah I see

[glacial glen]

Shi what

That’s wild

[pure hare]

I'm hopeful for cmc and ucsd, slowly giving up on the others

[glacial glen]

I swear it was more less than 1% is crazy

[pure hare]

At LACs the waitlist is just already rlly small

[glossy granite]

is this true?

[glossy granite]

ucsd is the most likely

but i feel like ucd might be better for pre-law idk

the capital proximity is a rlly nice bonus

[sweet pulsar]

this based on te 2025-2026 cds

2024-2025 was 25 out of 414

[glacial glen]

Shoot that’s rough…

[sweet pulsar]

it changes every year

[sweet pulsar]

its expected to be rough

[sweet pulsar]

its also a factor of student life

davis lowk is not for everyone

neither is ucsd but its more appealing probably to more people

[glossy granite]

thats a good point, i was going off of pre-law opportunity nearby and program quality

[sweet pulsar]

i also doubt theres a big difference in pre law stuff

[glossy granite]

personally i wouldve chosen davis over ucsd even ucsd accepted me just cuz i love the farmers market there and community

i prefer davis location a lot more

[sweet pulsar]

potential hot take

[glossy granite]

yeah it prob is 😭

im not a fan of the 8-college system they got

beach is nice tho but theres also ucsb if youre into that which is closer

[weak gorge]

i think its a lot higher than that

last year it was 480

and 25 got off
