At this school, based on their particular wording, if someone has already committed (the language above is from their "intent to enroll" form)

LuckyDog

20:14

@jb2028: Do you agree with Spivey that this cycle will have more WL movements?

jb2028

20:15

If you get into School B off the waitlist in June, School A has no way to know you're going elsewhere unless you tell them (since you've already committed/deposited) - hence the language

LuckyDog

20:16

Yeah that make sense, my second deposit is in the early June

jb2028

20:17

@LuckyDog: I have no idea tbqh. Waitlist movement will depend on schools' yield coming in below projections, either overall or for certain types of admits. We have little to no public data to gauge if that will happen.

jb2028

20:19

Spivey has one type of nonpublic data (conversations with his contacts in admissions offices), but his prediction was also months ago. Things may have changed.

LuckyDog

20:22

Thank u very much! Long wait..

I'm in a similar position to LuckyDog's. Deposited at BU. Would prefer to go elsewhere if possible.

CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick

21:42

@jb2028: Thank you for the insight. But when you say "read the fine print for every school," where exactly is the fine print? Is it in an admissions offer? Buried somewhere on their website? Located somewhere on admitted students' page?

[] ararara

21:54

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: I'm so happy there's a llama emoji haha.

[] ararara

21:55

@CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick: that's a good point if you haven't received anything from school

[] ararara

21:55

's regarding the deposit/can't find it then maybe just reach out and ask them

jb2028

22:10

@CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick: The school's deposit page will list anything you're agreeing to when you commit/deposit. Most of these forms are brief and the relevant info should be easy to find.

jb2028

22:11

I use "fine print" as shorthand for "that particular school's language you agree to when you commit/deposit," but it is not actually fine print/hard to find

jb2028

22:14

Even if it's a terrible policy (a few years ago, Notre Dame overadmitted and sent out an email telling admits their deposit deadline was now "when we reach our maximum number of deposits.”)

just got rejected from stanford which means i’m officially ucla bound 🥳🥳🫨

Congratulations smiski! It’s officially on!

thank you!!! i grew up in the bay area so im really looking forward to moving further away from home and experiencing socal

LA is enormous and has a little bit of everything but you’re going to be busy studying haha. Still have fun though!

@smiskiatstanford: living the dream

CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick

22:45

Thanks for the clarification. One page on the BU website that is password protected (only admitted students were given the password, I think) and that has some information about the deposits BU requires doesn't say anything about withdrawing. It just says that the two deposits are non-refundable.

[] ararara

22:52

@Ijustwannagetinman: your time will come soon enough!

i might reapply who else?

CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick

Yeah, definitely not. I guess you stopped inputting your admissions decisions on your status page at some point, right? It's not the case that you're actually waiting on all of the schools whose status box you haven't filled in, I take it. I imagine the 3.46 UGPA is bringing you down; and if so, I don't see how R&R-ing could help you.

CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick

Hopefully you got into one of the schools you applied to this go around.

I mean, you could R&R and take some fancy job to pad your resume or apply to lower-ranked schools.
