Was dinged last Friday...
I followed the instructions to the letter (confirming my interest to remain on waitlist a few days after notification, not sending anything else as there were no "significant updates" etc...). Judging by the communications strategy of the two guys that lifted the waitlist, I think my approach was too passive... If I were to do it again, I would definitely take a more ACTIVE approach, especially a few weeks before decisions I would send them an email or call them to reiterate my interest!
Good luck to y'all!
I just received a WL notice too, and read through the FAQ link, but nothing said that I needed to confirm my interest to remain on the WL. It just said to contact them if you want to withdraw from the WL. Did others receive a different message?
Do the WL admission stats quoted earlier in the thread apply to 2Y only, or combined 1Y and dual degree applicants?
Also, how did you find out who your assigned WL admissions officer was? My letter does not provide a name, it just says to call the office if you want to speak with someone.
