How do we know how many waitlisted people we have left in this group? Can we do a roll-call maybe?

The waitlist FAQ website now says that historically 50-60 people were admitted off the waitlist. Did they have this info earlier in the FAQ. I think they updated it recently.... I may be wrong though. Maybe they put a number just to manage our expectations given that they have already given 20 offers (about 35 - 40%)

could be wrong, but I'm almost positive it said that from the very beginning.

hopefully we get another update this week... and hopefully they're going to let more of us in :)

That's my guess - was surprised to read that they are adding 100 people to the waitlist from R2 - I expect that means they'll be mostly clearing it tomorrow.

(though I am also surprised that of the 20 Eileen said they would admit none would post here or clear admit)

I would like to think that too! I'm sure a lucky few will get a call tomorrow morning. And at least by noon the rest can just move on. The not knowing is just the worst.

And dinged via the online portal. Not particularly surprised at this point. Good luck to the all the new folks on the waitlist that will be going through the less than pleasant wait for the next two months.

Hey peeps!

R2 Waitlist here! After a day of "self-pity," I am back on my feet. I've read the waitlist threads from previous years and one can pick up the sense of camaraderie, which I think is important. Here's my contribution:

Given Eileen's note that: "we anticipate that your wait time from now will be relatively short, and that we will be able to finalize most of our decisions in April and early May," I wanted to share some "important dates" I have highlighted:

April 4: R3 deadline: In previous years/rounds, waitlist decisions have come a few days after a round deadline, when they get a better sense of the final applicant pool.
April 14-15: R2 Admitted Student Welcome. Not significant movement around it (besides the date noted above) but would be great if they admit people in time for it.
April 25: R2 deposit due. Important for yield. Note that R3 invterview invites come before R2 deposit, so no-deposits can free up new space?
April 20 & First week of May: R3 interview invites & R3 interviews. In previous years/rounds, waitlist decisions have come around interview invites/interviews
May 11: R3 decisions: In previous years/rounds, waitlist decisions have come a few days before a round notification.


Does anyone from R1 waitlist have a an idea from Eileen's comms on how many people were watilisted R1, how many were accepted/released and how many remain/are joining the ~100 new R2 waitlisters?
