I am thoroughly disappointed with Baylor's conduct in the admissions process to be perfectly honest
I called Baylor and the lady said that the committee is still accepting students. Also, since April 30 falls on a Saturday, we have until the next business day, May 2 to decide.
I assumed they were, the last two years they sent the waitlist emails out on April 24th, so I'm not sure what's going on this year..my hope is they are waiting for people to withdraw as it nears the deadline and so they will call a few people this week
Same hereJust got a waitlist email

Yes. Everyone's doesFor those that were just wait listed, did your file completion/status check change?
Every other school gave a date that they would give decisions if decisions went out late or they told you they would either accept or reject you off the bat. Baylor interviewed us in September and hasn't said a single thing to us since then. That honestly is piss poor. It is not too much to ask for a little bit of correspondence. These are peoples lives...they should have at least a little information. It is disrespectful and shows little concern for students who are planning their future. But I guess you just know SOOO much that you feel the need to be a jerk to someone for no reason. Asking for respect is not "bitching about stupid things."What, did you want them to hold your hand through every step of this and give you minute to minute updates on any decisions they made? Sounds like Baylor made a crappy choice interviewing you, given how ungrateful you are.
I feel like people are still allowed to express their feelings and people are allowed to get upset about being left hanging. Panda16 expressed that they were disappointed with Baylor and their feelings are valid whether or not you agree. They were going to stop anyway after they withdrew, I don't know why you felt the need to call them out. Don't read if you don't want to.Well if you listened to the presentation, or read other people's posts on this thread, we were specifically told that if we interviewed, we were ranked once the committee met and do not get rejected post interview. They would then take people off that rank list slowly. They also said that if you get an interview, you will not be rejected until some point before class starts; that you would automatically be placed on the waitlist. So, using deductive reasoning, you would know your status throughout this entire process until you get pulled off the waitlist.
So again, since you already know your status, what other information would you have liked to know from them?
And here lies my point....TY TY for being the real life example I am talking about haha! But really, I am glad some of you guys agree. I'm not asking for sports updates (minute to minute), I'm just asking for a "hey, here is how things look, this is what you might expect" every couple months.What an enthralling debate! At the risk of internet ridicule my opinion is that if they really are holding onto ~500 ranked applicants for maybe ~10-20 waitlist spots then that's hundreds of people who have already been "de facto rejected" that they are forcing to stay in limbo for no good reason. I know I'm holding off on certain preparations for the school I am currently set to attend solely because my application here is still active.
