Here you go...you won't have to wait

> Due to a coding error within our applicant database, some of you may not
> have received my e-mail below. If you did receive the original e-mail
> and have already replied, there is no need to reply again unless you

>
> On April 24th, after all replies have been received, applicants
> interested in remaining on the waiting list will be reviewed and placed
> in one of two groups for future consideration. Group One will contain
> up to 30 applicants and all remaining applicants will be placed in Group
> Two. Should spots become available after May 1st, appointments will be
> offered to applicants in Group One based upon overall strength of record
> and needs of the class. Appointments will be offered to applicants in
> Group Two, based upon the same criteria, if more than 30 spots become
> available after May 1st.
>
> Applicants will not be ranked within either group, but if you are
> interested in learning what group you have been placed in, you may
> e-mail me (phone calls/messages will not be returned) on April 30th and
> I will reply with that information. Although additional information
> (e.g. an updated transcript) may be submitted, it will not be reviewed
> unless a decision is made to offer appointments to wait-list applicants.
> We normally will not offer appointments to wait-list applicants until
> mid-May, so I strongly recommend you accept scholarship and enrollment
> offers at other colleges before their respective deadlines. Please let
> me know if you have any questions or concerns about your wait-list
> status.
