Email to wait listed students

I emailed Emory, asking, among other questions, whether they have re-read my application yet.

They said that they have admitted a small number of students from the wait-list but are still “crunching deposit numbers”.

Reading between the lines, it doesn’t look good. There is simply no way that they are still crunching the May 1 deposits. So the deposits that they are crunching must be the deposits of the wait-list admits. Thus, if you still have not been admitted from the wait-list, like me, it means that you were at least passed up for the first round, and maybe even the second round as well.

It means that Emory has a very, very low opinion of you. You have essentially been wait-listed for the second or even the third time and you chances don’t look good at all. :(
