<p>I read in one admissions book that 75% of the reply cards are received in the final week of April. je<em>ne</em>sais_quoi - I wonder if some of them already received most of their replies and figured out that even if the remaining ones are all “Yes’s” (slim chance), that they still need to dip into their waitlist to complete the class. </p>
<p>In reading past threads, I also noticed that colleges give different time frames for kids taken off the waitlist to respond. Some are one week after being contacted while others require a reply within 24 hours.</p>
