I’ve been placed on the waitlist. Does anyone know when I can expect to hear more? I’d really love to attend.

Also waitlisted. Does anyone know when the deposit is due? Guessing some folks may drop out after that to accept other offers

kaiholsten04 · Apr 1, 2026

April 15 I believe. Also, my impression is that we are not supposed to send letters of continued interest if waitlisted, but has anyone heard otherwise?

midnightrider · Apr 1, 2026

Send them to whom, our interviewers?

kaiholsten04 · Apr 1, 2026

In theory it would be directly through the application portal (according to some pages online), but since the option doesn't show up there and the waitlist letter says not to send additional emails my assumption is that we're not supposed to send anything.

midnightrider · Apr 1, 2026

I've just re-read the letter and I guess it's not worth doing it if they explicitly tell us not to. But how did you know about the April 15th date?

For those admitted, does anyone know if all spots are taken? I.E. they mention something at admitted students event ? Just want to know because i'm also on the waitlist and I want to gauge if I should hold out hope orrrr commit somewhere else already lol P.S. I applied with a pilot

Pretty sure all spots are taken, which is why there's a waitlist. I checked last year's thread and looks like nobody got off it. How many people lurking on here are on the waitlist?

By all spots taken, I mean, does everyone who initially got accepted intend to accept their spot?

Okay folks I guess from today onward we can expect news?

*fingers crossed* if anyone has any helpful info or updates plsss keep this thread alive!

Good luck getting off the wait-list!

In the meantime, don't forget to log your applications. It's very helpful to future applicants and insightful for you with the new Scattergram feature.

Crossing fingers for good news for you guys.
