Has anyone been waitlisted from Wake? Should we be submitting letters of interest even if we haven't had any major updates?

i was waitlisted. i submitted a letter of interest because oit says to submit one to keep ur app active. I think u can send an update letter at a later date, when u get more updates to provide.

Is there a rough timeline for getting off the waitlist or is it just at the whims of the universe

Whims of the universe mostly. The first batch they let in off waitlist was during their updates in December around a month ago. Unsure of if they let anybody in off waitlist this time but i haven't seen any yet based off interview dates.

- another waitlisted dude who needs to get off admit

I am also currently on the waitlist. There has been some movement on SDN at this school. I'm pretty nervous about the cycle but we just have to keep our heads up. Best of luck to you, this hasn't been easy.

if there was early movement happening in december, does that mean there would be more movement for us later or less as they alr filled up some waitlist spots

I think it shouldn’t really affect things in the grand scheme because there has not been much movement as of yet. More just an acknowledgement that movement on the waitlist is a thing and that waitlist does not mean rejection as of yet.

Has anyone who wrote a LOI after being waitlisted post-interview gotten off of the waitlist during that wave in December? If so, when did you interview/how soon after did you submit your LOI?

Im starting to think they dont GAF about LOIs. From what I've seen in the past, they're waitlist offers appear pretty balanced across those who have vs those who haven't submitted an LOI

Probably selective bias from a lot of accepted ppl saying they didnt submit LOIs and not as many posts from those that did. I do want to be wrong though since I did submit an LOI and an update lol

You have to submit an LOI to stay active on the WL.

For clarity: you must submit a letter of interest, not intent.

and about 200 students will be in the class correct, across both campuses? i guess that means there should be a lot of waitlist movement since obviously not everyone in that GC is gonna attend

yeah I’m assuming they’ve already admitted their class size + maybe a little extra. they matriculate ~200.

Do we think there's any chance of WL movement at all before April 30th? I know it's just wishful thinking, but man it's hard to wait so long

I emailed them abt it and they gave me the generic "could be anytime between now and two weeks before orientation" but ultimately its unlikely. Perhaps some minor movement from ppl having to limit their A's to three (so only ppl who have four and dont include wake), but that number will likely be small and not cause any major movement. Also wake will probably not immediately start issuing WL A's theyll prob be a bit delayed

Fair enough. At least I'll have season 4 of Invincible to keep me distracted while I wait

Wait was I supposed to fill out the CSS Profile to be considered for Wake scholarships? I only filled out the FAFSA. Has anyone had luck filling it out after 3/15??
