Wild journey since getting Waitlisted post-interview Round 1. Gave several updates, and got the phone call on 5/22. Had to decline it because they gave no $ and I'm holding a very good scholarship at Johnson. Best of luck to those still waiting, but if you get off the list be ready to pay sticker price.
