| OK, this is normally not good. They are basically telling you "Hey, we only have so many spots for incoming freshman. We don't have one for you right now. We are going to tell a bunch of other people they can have these spots first if they want one (the "accepted" folks). Once we hear from these people, we'll let you know if we have any left over spots."
If they do, they will offer them to the wait listed folks. They will not tell you this until all of the accepted people contact them and tell them if they are going or not. That will be after May 1.
I'm assuming you got accepted somewhere else, like your "B" school. What you need to do is accept enrollment at your "B" school, because they will have a May 1 deadline too. Then if by chance Parson tells you that you can come off the wait list, you can accept their offer. You'll be out the deposit at your "B" school, but that was your insurance in case Parson never calls.
If I were you I would forget about Parsons and start focusing on your "B" schools. If you hear from Parsons after May 1, treat it as a pleasant surprise |
