Dear Melsmom and Sporti,
I think it’s because there are still a few who are waiting on waitlist notifications before they are absolutely, 100% sure. I know this is my daughter’s case. She is not counting on coming off the waitlist and has secured a spot elsewhere, but she will not post her final decision until all the facts are in. This happened to a dear friend of her’s last year. She accepted a spot at another school and made her plans accordingly. Several weeks later she received a phone call from her first choice school notifying her that she had been accepted into the program (which incidentally has no waiting list). She was floored to say the least but wished she hadn’t already solidified her decision to attend the other program. She decided to stay with the original plan because she was already emotionaly invested. I think it’s a good idea to try to stay a bit detached until all of the information is in. I think this might be what is happening.

It’s a great thread.
