Delighted to hear your news. It has been a long wait for you. Now you can really enjoy your holiday.

Good to hear that HBS are not waiting until after Easter to phone with good news.

Are there any Band A dds still on the waiting list? Does anyone know of any? DG

Congratulations Bibliovore and daughter.

It would be interesting to know how many girls were offered places today. If I remember correctly, there were Band A girls at waiting list positions at least in the 30s so there may still be some way to go before Band B girls get the call.

Really happy for your DD, Bibilovore - there are a couple of fun activities in the Summer term that my DD really enjoyed last year and helped her to get very excited about starting in the Autumn.

DD was offered a place today by the school. She was 12th on w/l (in effect 2nd when offers made in Round 2 are taken into account).

Nice to see that the admissions office is still working diligently away to clear down the w/l even though it’s the holidays. We hadn’t expected to hear anything for at least another 10 days.

Good luck to those still waiting.

[And thank you to Tinkers for cleaning up and re-opening the thread :D ]
Congratulations!!!
It was a long wait but worth it, so happy for you and DD

Congratulations Bibliovore to all of you! What a relief!
So we know that that WL has moved by two places for sure. Does anyone know up to which position on WL they are offering now?

@Daogroupie-we ate in band A and were in 30's now we are at 20's.

Good luck to all

Thank you all.

We knew of a w/l ranking in the low 30s (before any w/l movement) so there are plenty of Band As still waiting.

As HBS admissions are still working it might be worth asking about latest w/l movement (last week the email auto-reply gave the position (offering down to w/l 11), so they may have updated at least that)
