[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think my school updates the waitlist number if people formally drop off. but, since ppl generally matched at a school listed below all their waitlisted options, a lot of ppl most likely tend to just leave it as is until they get called and then accept or in many instances decide to turn down the waitlist spot.[/quote] Yes but the historical data only tells you waitlist length on results day. So a school could report a waitlist length of 55 on results day, make 45 offers, and have 10 people dropped from the waitlist automatically because they got off waitlists for higher ranked schools. The school will have cleared it's waitlist but it won't look that way in the historical data -- it will look like 10 families were out of luck, when in reality they got into a school they wanted more.[/quote]
