I felt the same way about the whole 'people have to respond by May 8th', but the way I worded it when I spoke to her, I asked if any of the potential spots from the first round offers had been given to Wait listed people, and she said that they haven't started that part yet. They would be doing that (if any.....) in the next week or two. Also, I tried to get a % for how many people off the wait list get in, and she said she didn't have that info because it varies from year to year....welp, I tried lol
Also, she said the wait list people would be contacted by phone primarily!
