Does anyone have experience with a waitlist to program entry?
Hey everyone, this is my first Reddit post. I’ve already sent emails to the registrar’s office and advising but I thought I might ask here in case anyone has been in a similar situation and is willing to share.
I am currently a BEng student and submitted a late application to BCD. I had a few summer courses and was on the fence if I wanted to switch programs in the fall semester.
Today I received this decision letter from Dal:
“Thank you for your application to the Bachelor of Community Design program at our Halifax campus, Nova Scotia.
Owing to the limited enrolment and the large number of applicants for this program, your application has been placed on a waitlist. We will notify you in writing if we are able to offer you a seat in the program.
Please note that due to the volume of applications and transcripts being received, we are unable to provide applicants with a waitlist ranking.”
Should I expect to be admitted to the program only if students drop classes when the fall semester begins? My reasoning is that by now, most students that would decline or defer their offer, have already done so.
Thanks, any help is much appreciated in advance.
