- What else should I do in the meantime?
- Be patient and accept an offer that you currently have available. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict how many students might be admitted from the waitlist. The process is very specific to courses of study and the capacity of our campus to support all of our admitted students. Because of this, the list is not ranked and the number of offers extended will depend upon the number of spaces available and how many students we expect to accept the offer.
- What happens if a space at 不良研究所 opens up?
- Should space become available in a program after the SIR deadline, we look to the waitlist for candidates and extend an offer of admission. If you receive such an offer, you can cancel your statement of intent to register at another campus and accept our offer of admission. Typically, students have seven days to accept our offer. Since we cannot admit more students than we can support, it may take several weeks to exhaust admission offers to waitlisted students. Rest assured, students admitted from the waitlist will have the same enrollment experience as every other student in their entering class, from their financial aid award and guaranteed housing to orientation and summer advising.
