| Can we get a thread going about waitlisting?
Anyone have any info share about getting waitlisted? Stats from former years, info from students, etc. I'd really like to more about the situation besides what they told me. |

| I was waitlisted last year for SEAS, but I got in. I got an acceptance email on May 17th, and the acceptance letter I got was exactly the same as the RD acceptance letter. I also got my DHL package a few days later.
Just an fyi, make sure that you know whether or not you would go to Columbia if you choose to remain on the waitlist. They give you exactly a week to send in a deposit AND send in your housing survey.
By the way, if any of you have any question about the waitlist or Columbia in general, feel free to PM me. | |

| Yes, I had made a deposit to CMU. You'll end up sending a deposit to another school, and you'll have to make yet another deposit to Columbia if you are accepted. | |
