Congrats to those who got in! I got my waitlist letter yesterday, and was told this year they let you know when you are nearing the top. They used to let you know what number you were...bummer. Fingers crossed that enough spots open up!

I am late to the party, but I was waitlisted but got the acceptance letter last Tuesday. Good luck to everyone who is still waitlist and can't wait to meet you all soon.

@julia900821 congrats, that is so exciting! I'm happy to hear that movement is already happening on the waitlist. It's driving me bonkers now knowing where I am on the list! Would love to hear if anyone else has received news on moving up the list :)

Has anyone heard anything from the waitlist?

Hi kbd3...I got in touch with Mindy earlier this week to ask about movement. Doesn't sound like there's been much yet, unfortunately. She said a lot of times people who intend to decline their offer just never contact the school, so they don't have a good idea of our likelihood of making it off the waitlist until it gets close to the deposit deadline (May 1st). She did let me know I'm in the top 20, but that doesn't mean much as of right now :( staying hopeful spots will open up for all of us though!

Thanks for the info! Hopefully we will know more once May 2nd hits! I'm sure you will have a good chance being in the top 20.
