[quote=Anonymous]There was an article today in the Wall St. Journal about waitlists and how some schools put thousands of kids on them with no hope of getting in. That's not new information exactly, but it did make me wonder. A question for people who have actually worked in admissions (if there are any here). How does getting kids off the wait list really work? How are kids who are ultimately offered slots chosen? I can't imagine that it's just a ranked list, which wouldn't be practical. What makes one kid get off the list while the others don't? So how does it work? Asking for real knowledge, not speculation please. [/quote]
