James Nystead Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Lets discuss waitlist movement! High: "In recent years, applicants in your position on the Wait List have received an offer of admission." Normal: "Although you were not ranked to receive an offer at this time, it was recommended that your name be placed on our Wait List. Any offer that is not accepted will be filled by an individual from the Wait List." Low: "In recent years, applicants in your position on the Wait List have not received an offer of admission."

takasugi Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 If we got accepted to another school, and got waitlisted at Western, we won't be able to come off the waitlist correct? I have to accept the offer for the other school within 2 weeks but Western won't make offers to waitlisters until after that deadline has passed? Is that correct guys?

If you choose to accept the other offer (which you absolutely should), you take yourself off the western waitlist Your intepretation is correct takasugi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nystead Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Western waitlist always clears high waitlist and into normal but never low. Waitlist can move up to August even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe I'm low-waitlisted so it doesn't even matter haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegean Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I think everyone who didn't get accepted got waitlisted this time around.... No one has reported a rejection so far. It sort of makes sense. It is probably a contingency in case they need to move further down the WL because of COVID-19 related reasons..A large chunk of these will of course turn out to be low WL tomorrow.

I thought this last year, and felt suuuuuper bad when I was rejected because of it. Western rejects people, if you got rejected don't feel too bad, you are not the only one.

Unfortunately, I feel like your suspcions are correct. You can essentially treat low WL as a R which is good from a closure pov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the countdown resets lol This is a much longer cutdown with no clear endpoint If you're high or low waitlist, you're put out of the misery one way or another (high WL = offer, low WL = reject) If you're normal waitlist then thats a special type of purgatory I would not wish on my worst enemy dynamite17, theevilsloth and ChocolateMed 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
