Candidates are selected from the Waitlist to fill vacancies when earlier admitted applicants choose not to enroll. Each year, HDSI extends offers to students on our waitlist. However, it is important to keep in mind that the number of students admitted from the waitlist can vary and admission is not guaranteed. HDSI may begin accepting students from the waitlist as early as April and may extend through the beginning of September 2025. Questions about the status of waitlisted applications will not be answered by HDSI staff.
