@crybaby2024: Yes that's smart! I would definitely recommend learning the language, too, to avoid any misinterpretation.

Are they SLS real?
IdyllingApplicant
21:14
seems pretty weird for them to be grouped like that and all private idk
JocularJock
21:14
Maybe they're updating before the weekend?
[] ararara
21:19
SLS class size is so tiny and yield so high probably best to ignore those when they’re all bunched up like that and private!
[] ararara
21:19
Also a good idea to ignore statistical outliers (even though I haven’t seen what their stats are!)!

If you Stanford As are real though congratulations that’s amazing it’s Friday so we riot!!

If you interview with a dean after being WL how good are your odds of admission
Ijustwannagetinman
22:19
Has anyone interviewed after being on the WL
manifestT14acceptances
22:24
ooooh which school
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
22:36
It is pretty good to be interviewed by dean if you are WL
Ijustwannagetinman
22:44
I was just curious
HulkingAmusingUnicorn
22:45
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

thank you!!

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.
