[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that's just annoying. They know kids are in the process of mentally committing so they intentionally call them up and say "we don't have a spot for you yet but we might". That's called the waitlist and until you have an opening you should keep it to yourself. [/quote] What most schools do is they ask students on the phone if they're still interested in attending the school. If the student gives a verbal yes, they're admitted off the waitlist, otherwise, they just thank them for the time and wish them the best. That allows them to control their acceptance rate for US News and whatnot, which is based on the post-waitlist data. [/quote]
