Also a good idea to ignore statistical outliers (even though I haven’t seen what their stats are!)!

If you interview with a dean after being WL how good are your odds of admission

Ijustwannagetinman

Has anyone interviewed after being on the WL

It is pretty good to be interviewed by dean if you are WL

I was just curious

why is yield % insightful to look at for a WL'ed applicant? sorry to interrupt everyones conversation

Ijustwannagetinman

22:51

It’s good for their ranking. And increasing yield is easier to do with WL stuff

Ijustwannagetinman

22:51

Bc you can be more certain of an applicant’s genuine interest by their persistence

Question for the general chat. Sent an addendum to WashU today. Received an email that asked me whether I have deposited anywhere; if so, where; and how long I would like to remain on the waitlist. Does anyone have any idea why these questions would be asked, particularly the first two (I'm not confused about why the third would be asked). I don't have any problem with their asking these questions. I just found it unusual, since no other school I've spoken to since being waitlisted has done that.

I feel I must clarify that I know the probability of being admitted off the waitlist here (or anywhere else where I'm waitlisted) is low. Nonetheless, I am curious what you'll think the answers to my questions are. Gracias.

i definitely wouldnt 100% know, but if i had to guess I would say it's to gauge how likely you would be to accept an offer off the waitlist if it's given to you. like if you said you deposited at a higher ranked school and they have reason to think they wouldn't be able to offer you much in terms of scholarship they might try to pick someone else off the waitlist

or conversely if you said you hadn't deposited at a school or deposited somewhere significantly less prestigious they might think you are more likely to take an offer if it's given to you

I see. I could see that. Makes sense. Thanks.

They’re trying to gauge your interest and trying to see how to prioritize waitlist reviews.

does anyone know if people have been admitted off GULC WL yet this cycle

Ijustwannagetinman

11:33

I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone being admitted to Georgetown off the waitlist yet

Ijustwannagetinman

11:35

Although according to LSD data, a few people have

Based on decision dates, 3 of the 4 people who've logged a "WL, Accepted" result for Georgetown under the 2024-2025 cycle are actually past applicants who picked the wrong cycle

jb2028

11:53

(You can tell because decision dates are 2019/12/06 for one, 2023/05/10 for two others)

jb2028

11:55

There's one WL➜A result dated 2024/04/25, but Georgetown does not appear to have made a significant number of waitlist offers yet
