@Seagulleagle10: There are two main ways. One way is to tell a school that you only want to stay on the list until X date. The other way is to fall outside of what a school wants from their waitlist, which changes as the cycle comes to a close. For example, if a school needs to shore up its medians, they don't have a reason to keep double-unders on the waitlist.

I suppose there might be other, legitimate reasons why a school might drop people from its waitlist. For example, there's practically zero housing in Berkeley, so there's no reason for UC Berk to keep out-of-state residents past, say, end of July, because there wouldn't be anywhere for them to shelter.

Just thought of one other reason: if the school sends a follow-up survey, they likely will drop you if you don't reply to it.

@legallydillydallying: if you're old enough that parent support won't count for HLS I bet you could get a pretty good idea of your aid. But parent assets tend to confuse since they assume your parents are like willing to remortgage their house if they own one, borrow against assets, etc

lol i probs won't end up going. i would be giving up a full ride for potentially $0 aid at hls :') so it's probably a pass, IF I even get off the waitlist

14:42

yeah i think 26

legallydillydallying

14:43

for hls, it's 29

WhatDoIHaveToLose

14:43

yea just started googling, seems like most schools deduct 25% after age 26, 50% after 27, 75% by 28, then dont include it at all at 29
