Wow this is disconcerting. Especially the statement 'It appears that
there may be only a very small number of openings making admission from this
waiting list very competitive'
Is the e-mail for all schools the same?
Also, is this e-mail sent every year ... or is this something unprecedented?
(stephi878, I believe the e-mail is only for people on the PWL. If you are on the PWL and choose not to reply you'll simply be moved to the regular waiting list)
I don't think this e-mail was ever sent in previous years. Older waitlist threads in CC don't seem to mention it. Whatever the actual number of openings is, it can't be good news for us
And oblivion, it can't hurt. But if you're ever going to send it in, do so soon (Like, today)! They're probably ranking the waitlist in the very near future, since they promised a reply by next Tuesday
