A quick definition of Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Act:

The Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Act is a law that helps states and communities prevent young people from becoming delinquent. It also provides training for people who work with these young people and gives technical assistance in this area.

A more thorough explanation:

The Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Act is a federal law that aims to prevent young people from engaging in criminal behavior. The law has three main goals:

  1. To help states and local communities provide services that can prevent young people from becoming delinquent.
  2. To train people who work with young people in how to provide these services.
  3. To offer technical assistance to those who work with young people.

For example, a community might use funds from the Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Act to start an after-school program for at-risk youth. The program could provide tutoring, mentoring, and other activities that help young people stay on track and avoid getting involved in criminal activity.

The law also provides funding for training programs that teach people how to work with young people. For instance, a college might use funds from the Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Act to develop a course on counseling techniques for youth workers.

Finally, the law offers technical assistance to organizations that work with young people. This might include help with program design, evaluation, and other aspects of youth work.

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!
UnevenInstinctiveSeal
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?
