Middle third waitlist, OOS
From my notes on interview day, Mr Dickerson said historically everybody from top 1/3 gets accepted and half of the middle third gets accepted. Bottom third is a very low chance.So the million dollar question (for me) is how much movement occurs on the HP waitlist? I remember them talking about it at the interview but I can't recall what was said.
Oh no I'm so sorry! Did you receive that email yesterday or this morning?Rejected OOS.

Sorry, been looking around and found this thread, so thought I'd jump in now.
Interviewed 10/30/16, TTWL as of yesterday. I don't know what OOS means. The wording of the waitlist email was somewhat equivocal as to whether they require a response to stay on the wait list or only if you want off of it. Anyone else feel that way? And if there's anyone who has an idea about wait list mobility... I'd name my first kid after you. The wording of the email was... tentatively promising.
Thanks @Chamakay and @LosWaffles. Those will look odd on birth certificates, but I promised.
Sorry for asking the same question. Should one not reply to the email to stay on the waitlist?
I'm confused , my bad.

Either this person has a different waitlist email than I do, or there is a lack of integrity invading this thread.
The email never states "We need to have your acknowledgement that you would like to be on our alternate list." The 3rd paragraph of the email is such: "Candidates for admission may be selected at any time up to and including the end of the first week of classes (August 14, 2017). Please reply to this email within the next seven days if you do NOT wish to be placed on our alternate list. Also, continue to report any address, phone or email changes to AMCAS, as we download these changes for purposes of communication. If we do not hear from you by April 7, 2017, you will remain on the alternate list. "
Meaning if you want to be on the alternate DO NOT do anything. They also do no state they will maintain your name from the list. If you wish to stay on the alternate list do not reply to the email. And if you did already and said something like "I want to confirm my spot on the alternate list" I bet you're okay because they realized you read it wrong, but it would be safe to call in just to confirm. I can post the full email I received if there are still doubts about the wording. Honestly, a little disappointed in some of the malicious guidance given out. Hotzy21 either has a completely different email than I do, or they are deliberately misquoting the email to try and create waitlist movement.
Edit:formatting
I would absolutely email to confirm your position on the waitlist. There's a line in the email "We need to have your acknowledgement that you would like to be on our alternate list."
I agree the wording after that is confusing, and I called to clarify. The lady at admissions who answered acted like I was asking her the dumbest question of all time-
"If we do not hear from you by April 7, 2017, we will maintain your name from the alternate list. "
Whatever "maintain your name" means.
+1How many of you are still waiting to hear? I interviewed on 2/3 and still haven't heard anything. Everyone I know who interviewed at CU has heard already, and it looks like everyone who as called admissions was told we would hear by the end of this week.

The accepted total just went up to 270, although the date still hasn't been updated.
I was very excited to be on the HPWL, but looking at the accepted totals and last years thread, I don't think being high-priority really means I'm likely to get in.
Rejected OOS.
For those who got rejected last week, when did you interview? Any February interviews?
Well, I'm declining my acceptance here. Being OOS, it was just a tad too difficult to swallow that outrageous cost with my IS being a good school at half the price. I hope my spot goes to one of you!

To everyone who received an email about the High Priority wait list, I know there was some confusion with the wording of the email regarding whether or not to respond if you wanted to stay on the wait list.
I called Monday and I was informed to give a response one way or another, so I did.
My question is, what did you all do?
What? I'm confused. Can you please explain in more detail? Are they not making calls but instead sending out letters now? Are the letters going to everyone, regardless of acceptance, rejection, waitlist? Either way it sounds like calls are not going out today? I interviewed mid Feb and have not heard anything yet.Just called and was informed that the committee has made all decisions, but that the final notifications will be sent out "hopefully next week" and that "the timing of the letter isn't indicative of if it's a yes or no"
I called and asked when they would be notifying applicants who had not yet heard and she said that "letters" would be going out "hopefully next week" and that timing was not indicative of "a yes or no." To be honest I also found this very confusing as others had been told we would hear back by the end of this week and I thought they called for acceptances. I also interviewed in February. She did say I should feel free to call again next week to check in, but I got the impression that we would NOT be notified today. She did not however say directly that no one would hear today.What?

I emailed confirming my spot on the high priority waitlist.
I also received a top priority alternate list notification on Monday. Interviewed mid Feb. Has anyone from Feb or late Jan interview date received an acceptance yet?
