You got the email that Friday before the R2 decision notifications. You already can login into Wolverine friend account etc. You don't need another email with the same instructions. The email sent to R3 applicants only.

Soo-Jin says 'On May 15, we will release many applicants from our waitlist." Seems we will see a lot of movement from the waitlist.

Do they decline from waitlist throughout the process too? Or is it that once you're waitlisted, the only possible outcomes are acceptance or continuing to be on waitlist (until end of summer, when presumably you are effectively declined).

This is accurate. I too am a round 2 waitlister and I did not receive the email.

Quote:

We anticipate that we'll start making calls to admitted students on Monday, May 13.

On May 15, we will release many applicants from our waitlist. If you are not notified, that means that you will remain on our waitlist for potential admission throughout the summer.

Nevermind, just read this from the blog. It makes it sound like those on the WL will find out on the 15th. Is that how it's been in the past? Or will they call those on the WL starting today as well?

I took it to mean we could get an admit call off of the waitlist today or tomorrow.

any idea roughly how many people were there on the Waitlist? I think, last year this number was 400. Would be good to know the chances %. Though, I don't think, we will have any estimates how many interviews were done for W3.

Hard to say exactly, but there are over 400 on the google group. So chances might not be great for us.

No, chances are great for us. Very poor for everyone else...

Or at least that's what I keep telling myself.
