Are applicants on waitlist rejected or accepted before April 15th?

[dizzdizz]

I am accepted from some universities but still on waitlist of my best one. Because I have to make a decision, I want to know if applicants on waitlist are usually accepted or rejected before 4/15th. And if the university where I am on waitlist doesn’t inform me whether I am accepted or not until 4/15th, what action I should do for the universities I have admitted? Can I postpone the decision?

Schools try to get out waitlist decisions before April 15, but waitlisted people are frequently not informed until on or after April 15. The reason is because accepted students have until April 15 to accept (in general) and if they wait until the last minute to decide, the school doesn't have much time to send out notices to waitlisted students.

You can try to ask the school you would attend out of your accepted schools for a few extra days to make a decision, but it's up to them.
