xtopherx Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 So I've been wait listed at my number one choice and I'm not sure exactly what that entails. Am I ranked? Do I have a number assigned to me? Is it by date of placement on the list? Should I just consider this a rejection? Trust me, I'm a very positive thinker and this will not deter me from getting in, however I am not sure how the whole Wait-list thing works...

sailordeac Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Call and ask - every school probably handles their list differently. I was on the waitlist at one school but was told they did have a ranking system and I wasn't too far down the list...ended up getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_me Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Some schools rank the list and after all spots have been accepted, they go down the list starting with the first person and offer seats until the class is made. Most schools will give a person who is offered a seat, approx 2wks (varies by program) to accept and pay the deposit. Some schools will combine the waitlisters with the last group of interviewees and send out acceptances. Some may offer seats in something similar to a lottery--depends on the program.
