thanks for letting us know. how impudent of them
That's wild considering there are so many people from jan/feb who haven't heard back. Maybe they haven't even been read.
Almost like late apps didn't stand a chance.

Agreed. They likely scanned them so they could skim the cream of high 170s and 4.0+ and ignored the rest

They're like SoFi student loan company.

curious that they're sending out more waitlists even though their class is supposedly filled
Serval
22:10
is that info prior to or after the deposit deadline tho?
22:13
ya why send more WLs if the class is full and they already ahve at least 115 WLs offered...
22:14
do we think we still have a chance bois or are we throwing in teh towel
22:14
im tired of decision making someone else do coping for me pls
when did they say it was filled? before or after the deposit deadline?
22:15
just tn is when my friend got the "class is filled" email
I didnt receive that email
22:16
not sure when nola241 got their email
cause after deposit deadline... people dont commit yk, and spots lost
even throughout the summer people can leave
22:17
so what you're saying is we need to get accepted peeps to leave somehow
22:17
start spreading rumors that the school is in fact extremely stinky
people have gotten off the week of orientation
FutureLawtino
22:21
I think it's ridiculous that they didn't even send out a hold
FutureLawtino
22:22
just be upfront with people about what's going on...
BigSky
23:26
yes. very sketchy of them. if it wasn't clear already, these schools are doing what's in their own interest
BigSky
23:26
they keep adding to their WL bc they can
BigSky
23:28
if they're not going to seriously consider the vast majority apps after, say january 1st, they should make their app deadline jan. 1
I wouldn't have gotten that WL if that was the case. my jan score was quite underperforming.
well, that's if it went UR before the feb score showed
BigSky
23:37
ah. that's why i presented it as a hypothetical. and there's (little) debate about what a WL means at HYS
if they actually emailed someone that the class is full there would be a screenshot on reddit
they dont even pick up the phone why would they be dropping bombs via individual email
