Our youngest came from the waitlist last year. Mid May. Last yield, waitlisters were required to affirm to an email that they wished to remain on the list. That was around this same time of year.
As time went on, the waitlist was whittled down. Some received appointments, most TWE’s.
One thing to keep in mind, as already stated, is that these candidates aren’t ranked, where the top come off first. It’s more of a holding pool as states are settled woth the finality of May 1st acceptance deadlines, conditional appointments are worked through, etc.
DS was appointed right before graduation ceremonies. We had to scramble to get his graduation info all changed for recognitions.
We contacted his Plan B school, disenrolled, received all but $30 in deposited back (non-refundable application fee), booked a flight and headed to Annapolis.
You can search for prior year waitlist threads, to see chatter about timing, and tc, if that’s your jam. Hang in there!!!!
