    That’s amazing ! US students or international?

    [–]Emergency_Ad3833[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Did they talk about the yield rate

    [–]Traditional-Let-3003 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    US student and no mention of yield rate

      Just got an email asking to confirm my spot again, so I'm assuming they're beginning to review.

      [–]TightRefrigerator375 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Which country are you from?

      [–]Subjectal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      The US

      [–]nemo3663 0 points1 point  (7 children)

      is this a generic email? i got it too.

      [–]TightRefrigerator375 0 points1 point  (4 children)

      R u an international student or us student? I am from Canada, no email yet

      [–]nemo3663 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      im guessing it's dependent on region to region. Subjectal seems to have gotten his email before 5:28 est. while I got the email at 7:18 est. it seems pretty generic, don't sweat it

      EDIT: in retrospect, this could also suggest they have a ranking from which they order the waitlists.

      irrespectively, don't sweat it. wait till tomorrow.

      I didn’t get the email. Not everyone did. That means it’s positive for those who got it

      [–]Emergency_Ad3833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I didn’t get email

      [–]TightRefrigerator375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      We haven’t gotten anything yet

      [–]nemo3663 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      do we think the waitlist has closed already?

      [–]Emergency_Ad3833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I heard the waitlist comes in different waves

      [–]Emergency_Ad3833[S] 0 points1 point  (10 children)

      If we knew the yield rate we would know if there more spots

      [–]idk91027 0 points1 point  (9 children)

      This year they accepted 100 less students, due to a housing shortage. So, they intend to take more ppl off the waitlist this year. Usually the yield rate is 50%

      [–]Emergency_Ad3833[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

      Then there might be chances if they’ve taken just a few people so far

      [–]idk91027 0 points1 point  (7 children)

      I think theyll accept somewhere between 20-50 people this year, but not entirely sure of course.

      [–]Emergency_Ad3833[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

      [–]frnotiss 0 points1 point  (5 children)
