Previously, we shared that our intention was to come in slightly under our enrollment target on May 1 and build the class to the desired enrollment target through the Wait List. Today at 4:00pm, we will begin making good on that promise by releasing an initial group of slightly over 400 admission offers for Fall 2026. These offers will include both in‑state and out‑of‑state students, with the goal of maintaining our target enrollment balance of roughly 80% in‑state and 20% out‑of‑state students. We are releasing some decisions slightly earlier than anticipated to give admitted students time prior to May 1 to solidify their college choices based on more complete information.

Students admitted from the Wait List will see their decision posted to their status page at 4:00 p.m. ET today (4/29/2026) and will have 7 days to submit their commitment deposit. Admitted students will also receive an email around 5:00 p.m. ET congratulating them on this decision and reminding them of the date the deposit is due.

No students will be denied or offered the Transfer Pathway today. Wait List offers will continue to be made in waves over the coming weeks as we monitor responses and deposits. While we can’t predict exactly when the process will conclude – or when additional offers may be made – we expect to finalize all decisions for the Class of 2030 by mid‑July at the latest, and hopefully sooner. We’ll also review the Wait List again later for potential Spring 2027 offers, once Fall enrollment is finalized.

Go Dawgs!
