parity Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 As did I. Can one call to establish their place on the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 You won't be able to get any information on your EXACT place on the list but you MIGHT be able to get some idea if you are in the range of those who traditional stand a chance of getting a call later on.

M.paige Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I did "Please note that as an alternate, your probability of being offered a seat in the class depends entirely on whether any of the 60 who have already been offered seats in the entering class decide to go elsewhere or have an extenuating circumstance that prevents their attending our program this year. In the past we have gone rather deep into the alternate pool, but it all depends on the responses of the original 60." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.paige Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My question is for students graduating 2016: Does anyone know how many people were accepted off Of the wait list in your class? And for this years applicants: Anyone who has been accepted and has decided to go somewhere else for school? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 "Rather deep" for c/o 2015 was about 10. I don't know the exact number for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Class of 2011 went 6 "deep". Class of 2012 went 17 deep. It varies from year to year on the whim of those accepted. You can't gauge your odds based on another year's class. There will be a lot of people on the wait list who do not get in. Probably greater 1/2 to 3/4 or more won't get in. But there is still hope - you just have to wait it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenzanne Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 for those that were most recently accepted, when do you have to put your seat deposit down by? trying to gauge when they will start to know how many people they can pull off the waitlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That really won't help you gauge. Most people who give up their seats have already paid their deposit but decide to forfeit it because they got another offer somewhere else that they consider better.

DexUFPA Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm looking into how deep they have gone in the wait list so far this year. I know they have not officially formed the class yet so its safe to say they have not recieved confirmation from all 60 students they have picked. Even after the class is formed there will be a few changes. There were at least 3-4 changes after that initial list was made for the 2015 class. Each class is different of course but thats a generally what happens as people make other decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexUFPA Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Well I wasn't able to get all the details on the current situation with applicants but I was told that most waitlist calls happen in Feb-Mar generally so i wouldn't worry too much one way or the other about it right now.
