I dont even get this. I have 6 kids here right now who are not my own. Yeah, I know their names and what their plans are next year and even what they plan on studying. These kids walk in here and give me a hug when they come over. I know, you think it's all so crazy! |

Know of two Stanford committed kids that got off Harvard waitlist and switched. Anecdotal data is generally worthless at spotting trends. |

Yes, heard about a Princeton WL acceptance for a friend's daughter. This week. Surprising. |

| Sounds like a lot of full pay private school students are getting off the waitlist if you can believe the stories. |

My DC's best friend just got a call or text that they'll get a spot off the waitlist if they say yes. Went over to St. Louis past weekend to visit and although campus was nice, decided the town and location was not a fit at all. Direct quote was "I can't see myself living here for 4 years". So the friend passed on the spot. I doubt WashU would count this against their yield since they are doing the complicated dance of asking and waiting for a verbal yes before officially offering the spot. They must know the location can be a hard sell for some people. |
