| All students should send in their intent to enroll along with deposit at a school by now even if waitlisted at a preferred school. Students must move forward as if the waitlist won't move. If it does, that's great. They can pursue the waitlist by sending letters of interest and updates. But students should not hold off in moving forward with another school and securing a spot. I thought most schools want a commitment by May 1. I advise anyone to do this. I'm speaking logistically/deposit, etc. but also even psychologically. The worst that can happen if a student gets off a waitlist elsewhere and wants to attend, is that they lose the deposit at the school that they enrolled in. Of course, it is fine to contact the school with the waitlist to find out if they have a time frame they expect with regard to the waitlist. But one needs to still move forward as if the waitlist will not turn out favorably. |
