[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I've volunteered with admissions in the past and am pretty close with our AD. [/b]Schools have a pretty good idea what their average yield is so they over-admit in an effort to try to not have to go to their WL. Yes, it can and does happen, but it's definitely the exception rather than the rule. If you call and ask, most ADs are willing to be honest about how likely their WL is to move for any given grade. Rather than hold your breath until the end of the month, talk to the ADs. They will usually let you know if it's hopeless so you can move on. [/quote] Well, I have heard of schools taking kids off WL in the summer. Say, when a family gets tranfered in July, or realizes taht they cannot affort the tuition on May 31st. Meanwhile, all of the accpets have settled else where.....time to get out the WL.[/quote]
