<p>When my son spoke with admissions regarding his chances of being accepted off of the waitlist, he was told that decisions on selecting applicants from the waitlist wouldn’t be made until sometime after the 1 May deadline for regular admissions students to respond as to there intent to attend W&L.</p>
<p>I would expect that most of the students selected from the waitlist won’t be offered admission until sometime in May.</p>
<p>I can’t explain why a few individuals were selected from the waitlist so early. This was certainly a welcome surprise for us, but I definitely wouldn’t give up hope and would follow Dima343’s advice to make sure W&L knows you are still interested in attending.</p>
<p>Best of Luck!</p>
