I got the edit button on my application status page someone was talking about above. I only applied a week ago, but does that mean they already decided I’m waitlisted?
Who knows anymore. I am so tired of this y'all
Edit button has no correlation. People with R’s had it too.
How do you know people with Rs had it too? Nobody I know who has been Rd or Ad has had it
only WL'd people. I could be wrong. Just curious how you determined that.
I messaged a few people who got rejected and all stated they had an edit button.
ah. got it. appreciate the color there
Do we think they're waiting for after seat deposits for another wave? I know this is all conjecture... but I'm dying for an answer
Based off past years, I think there will be another big R wave coming soon. Maybe another WL wave too. I hope there is another A wave but hard to tell.

@DelightfulRapidBaboon: edit button means nothing, I was admitted and had it
@ImperfectIrishWolfhound: yep, got accepted as well and I had it too...
Yeah, that’s what I was getting at. There isn’t any apparent correlation with the edit button.
Just for clarification, would anyone who’s gotten an R care to clarify if they had an edit button on or not?
Looks like very little decisions lately.
