The last date would be written on your acceptance letter. They usually give a month's time.

I'm on the waitlist. Any suggestion for next step?

I couldn't find much info about how many waitlist get in at Merage.
Will waitlist be compared with the third and forth round students?
Is that mean the result will be after the end of forth round?

Hi Asphalt,

The new building looks like it's going to be amazing. Will construction finish by the time we matriculate as students?

Nice thought!!!

The building was much needed for Merage. It will house tons of resources.

It's expected to be functional by the last quarter of this year. So your batch will be the first to enter this facility. As of now the roofing and pillars are done till 5th floor. Wall construction is on its way. It looks in great shape.
