I'm hoping this is the last week of waiting
wait did I accidentally summon USC I was not looking at the update checker when I sent those messages

vandy is april 15th yes, I think they are waiting to hear back from their As to predict yield and then send out more. Likely a wave this friday methinks
Mostlylegal
13:22
ndls* not vandy
Mostlylegal
13:22
vandy is april 23rd if im not mistaken
starfishies
13:22
they have so many a's left though it feels wild to play it like this
starfishies
13:24
tho i think i prefer silence to meaningless holds
Mostlylegal
13:25
yeah im not sure what their thinking is, perhaps they might fill their class manually since they have so many applicants, but the longer you wait the more you are just getting the rest of the t20s scraps (which may be their strategy)
Mostlylegal

with vandy, in 2020-2021 which is likely the most similar cycle to this one, Vandy gave out 350 As total. Right now we are at 299. So I think there will still be some movement, and quite a few off waitlist
Has anyone heard from Cincinnati lately?
starfishies
13:34
vandy wl translates as an easy r in my brain
Mostlylegal
13:34
1/4th of NDLS As have already been withdrawn, eeps
Mostlylegal
13:35
@starfishies: I think it depends on stats, if ur within target of stats its probably an actual WL, they do take a couple people off their every year
starfishies
13:35
see this is why im confused with them it cant be a net positive strategy to wait until after deposit deadline to pick the other half of your cohort
Mostlylegal
13:36
its also holy week this week so we might not get any movement from them either since friday and thursday are probably days off
i love that we have to psychoanalyze these institutions to get any sort of semblance of clarity on their decision-making
