Hi! How long does it usually take to hear back from a waitlist? I read online that sometimes colleges still take people off the waitlist as late as August? If so, does that impact orientation/move-in day at all?
Hi there!
Some students hear back as early as April, others don't hear back until July or August because some colleges have people drop out last minute or a few empty spots left. Make sure you have a backup option, tho I am really not sure how that works since college decisions are traditionally due before May 1st. Yes, I have heard it can be a bit of a scramble with move-in, but colleges have support systems to guide you through it.
Have you written a LOCI? That can play a huge role.
