Are waitlisted students expected to hear back next week or earlier after an interview?

Additionally, what have been the scholarship support looking like?

They have to make a decision for international students soon.

I might have to withdraw soon because it’s becoming too stressful and last minute with visa preparation, getting the funding done, get apartment sorted out etc.

I was interviewed in round 2, have sent them a lot of strong updates and attended waitlist webinars.
