Hi there. I am wondering if there has been any known movement for the Andover Waitlist. Despite Exeter having closed their waitlist on April 10, it seems that Andover has still kept it’s waitlist open, which seems unusual for a school with such a high yield. No emails about the a summer waitlist either. Will they send an email before the school year starts letting students know that they have closed the waitlist, or do they generally just close the waitlist (and if you don’t hear back before September, you’re assumed not to be accepted)?

Some schools do not send anything about their WL beyond “tell us if you want to be on it.” It’s the old-fashioned way of doing this, and you are to understand that you will hear from them only if they are offering you a place.
There is typically a tuition payment due in July, so occasionally, there will be a place or two that open when a fair doesn’t pay,
If you are making plans/payments that would change if you were offered a place, there is no harm in calling Andover and asking if they anticipate any further WL activity. Imho, it’s unlikely at this point, especially if there hasn’t been confirmation that you’d welcome a summer offer, but you’d be better off hearing that from the horse’s mouth than someone on the internet.

Makes sense. Guess I’ll try again for next year. Thank you!
