When was the WL session held?

It looks like GULC's seat deposit deadline is May 1, so it wouldn't surprise me if "in a few weeks" meant "around May 1"

I received my GULC II yesterday so they seem to still be genuinely considering applicants

yesterday. Based on the recap from reddit, Dean Andy told them to expect some movement from April 23-May 10.

I found a post just now that says he mentioned a first WL-->A wave around May 8. If I were you, as tough as it is, I would sit tight; they don't like to feel that applicants are hounding them (sucky system tho tbh)

It's my top choice so waiting has been really hard. I'm guessing at this point I'm on the cusp between WL or R

Andy also said he wouldnt be surprised if there was movement before seat deposits. Also to make sure to send a good loci. He said its basically another application cycle which doesnt make sense since preferential waitlist was supposed to be unranked?

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

11:48

I wonder why there would be movement so early. Are they experiencing lower-than-expected yield? Seems unlikely given this cycle

UnevenInstinctiveSeal

11:48

They said they underadmitted

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

11:49

That's good news for you!

11:49

I'm really worried my application is on the cusp of WL/R and that's why I havent been given a decision

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

11:51

That kind of thing is probably beyond anyone's ability to divine... but I feel like in that case, wouldn't they just WL you and circle back around later to decide during WL movement?
