Anyone get waitlist news?

Has anyone gotten pulled off the waitlist? Also, does anyone know how long you get to decide?

I'm pretty sure it would still be early. Approximately 50% of a small college's acceptances roll in at the last minute, meaning May 1. They won't start digging into the wait list until they've figured out exactly where they stand.

Usually they give you very little time to decide.

It's more about yield than number admitted. I'm sure you'll hear from them soon though, good luck.

as an international wait-listee, I got the email accepting me on May 8th. So you should hear from them anytime now if you're in.

GOOD LUCK!!!
