Me either but I just got waitlisted last week

I thought April was too late for a school to waitlist, anyone else in the same boat?

My waitlist form only lists the office of admissions - no poc

Still waiting! I have shared a few updates with them since march (thats when I was waitlisted). But mostly silence from them. Based on last years waitlist results on clearadmit, it seems like we should have our results around this time. Mid-late May

I gave in and called to ask what the waitlist situation is. They said they have a deposit deadline later this week and they’ll have more clarity after that. Also that they’re aware that international students are on a strict timeline and they’ll make sure to inform us soon. But they didn’t give me an exact date!

So really no new information, Im afraid :(

Hey, thanks for sharing this. Their deposit deadline was 24th May. Based on last year’s clear admit livewire posts, internationals received acceptance till the first week of June. That’s the last leg of waitlist movement for us.
