Thank you for the clarification!
Anyone have any stats on SPWL candidates? Are the chances of getting off the waitlist higher? Not really sure what these tiers mean
10:51
Operating under the hypothesis that each list is smaller than the last (I.e. the size of each list is WL > PWL > SPWL) your odds may be considered higher under both theories of how the lists are used. One theory is that they pull evenly from each list (aka if they need 30 seats, 10 from SPWL, 10 from PWL, and 10 from the WL). Your odds are higher in the sense that, to make explaining easy, there’s 100 people on the WL, 50 of the PWL, and 20 on SPWL. Therefore odds are 1/10, 1/5, or 1/2 within your category. The other theory is they pull 50% SPWL, 25% PWL, 25% WL, with the same rules as above. Again this is under the assumption made in the beginning I don’t believe there’s any real way to confirm any of this as GULC doesn’t release these specifics
10:53
But in terms of the main theory, it’s thought they typically pull 33%, 33%, and 33% of what they need from each list. The latter scenario seems to be uncommon if it is even real to begin with
Thank you!! Super helpful
10:54
But I have no hard stats to back that up I would love to see anything that indicates any ways in which the lists are distributed and pulled from but all I’ve seen is anecdotal evidence and self selective evidence from here and Reddit
10:54
So yeah just want to make it abundantly clear this is only a theory there’s no hard proof! Glad to help tho!!
I find waitlists tricky because you never know how many people actually get off and then Georgetown complicates it with these sep lists
11:09
There’s that and then their list is absurd like over a thousand people and counting is crazy frankly

Does anyone know when the next deposit deadline is? (Or if there’s another one set)
11:18
No idea
11:19
Does anyone know if the deadline for the original As that were waiting on financial aid has past?

11:20
I think the original deposit deadline was last Wed, May 1
11:21
I mean the extended deadline cuz some people didn’t have financial aid info by May 1st. Those peeps, however many there were
grapesnlemonade382
11:21
i've heard there is a second deposit deadline in mid June. But idk if thats true as I can't find anything that confirms it. I just read it somewhere on reddit lol
grapesnlemonade382
11:23
oh I didn't even know they had an extended deposit deadline lol
11:25
Only for the few individuals that NEED financial aid and can’t confirm before seeing their offer
11:25
It was a case by case thing probably not a huge group but idk
grapesnlemonade382
11:33
oh gotcha. I'd assume their deadline is probably today, but I have no way to confirm that lol. just a guess
11:39
Fingers crossed haha
11:40
Sorry that might come across wrong not in a I hope they’re rushed way just in a I hope they’ve had the chance to decide now way
grapesnlemonade382
14:45
Not to sound like a broken record lol, but any thoughts on when the next wave of decisions might come? Will it be next week? Or would they possibly do two waves in this week? I don't remember if they've done that before
It looks like a lot of people were just accepted off the WL recently. Any feedback on getting an A off the WL?

I think the last time that happened was early last week? I'm not sure. I'm just waiting for an initial decision 🤪

@JaidedIris: Sorry I realized I got the SPWL, not the PWL since it said "special group within the Preferred Wait list"
