Waitlisted Applicants

If you have been placed on the waitlist, please be sure to return your waitlist reply card confirming your interest in remaining on the waitlist.

If you are admitted from the waitlist, a letter will be mailed to you. We will use the current address we have on file.

The application process continues through mid-August. If you apply early in the admissions cycle and are placed on the waitlist, you can remain on the waitlist for months. Every applicant will receive a final decision letter. If you are not admitted from the waitlist, we will communicate that decision to you by formal letter.

We know this can be a tenuous time for you. We thank you in advance for your patience.
