I honestly wish we had a definitive date to count down to! Last year those on the waitlist started getting off around May 22/23, but some of them only got off in early June. Hopefully once 24th May passes we’ll start seeing people getting off the waitlist.
Seeing as both R1 and R2 decisions were released slightly later than last year, I think early June is the earliest we can expect responses. Can’t be sure though! This is all just speculation from waitlist stress!
Actually looking back, some people may get off the waitlist before the 24th of May. In the previous years, the two people who got off the waitlist got off before the 24th of May. I honestly think that the one outlier who got off the waitlist on the 5th of June in 2019 may be lying? I’m not sure, don’t quote me. I think a good estimate would be between the 19th to 29th of May. Possibly 22nd May as the 23rd and 24th’s a weekend.
Hmm, your theory actually sounds right. We’ll see what the future holds. I do think that the 6/5 outlier was probably because somebody rejected the first wave of waitlist offers, so YNC filled the spot with somebody else (I remember seeing someone who got in from the waitlist but rejected their spot to go to Harvard, so that’s where I got the idea). Otherwise, maybe they start looking at the waitlist based on Round 1’s yield, then they go back to it after Round 2 commits (this seems kind of unlikely, though).
Hi everybody! Has anyone gotten any waitlist updates?
@ttplucas nahh not yet… I believe it will most likely be released on the last week of may or early june
hi everyone! any waitlist updates?
I haven’t heard anything back 
me neither
Honestly, just expect it to come out on the first week of June. good luck to all waitlist applicants!!
Has anyone gotten any updates regarding their waiting list yet ??
@sammy19 Nope… I am starting to wonder whether the accepted waitlist students just aren’t on this thread?
Hey guys, I just got my decision letter. I got accepted!! Praise God for that! However, I haven’t qualified for any aid or scholarship and as an international student, the fee is quite hefty…so I’ll have to see about that. How about you guys?
congrats!!! @godwillmakeaway By when are you required to respond to their offer? (im still hoping for an offer soon!)
thank you! I believe they said by the 23rd of June. (and yeah I hope you get an offer soon too!)
