[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s stats out there that tell exact school and their percent admit from waitlist. FWIW my kid was deferred and rejected from Fordham, and deferred, then waitlisted, then admitted at Pitt. Admitted at Pitt on May 2. [/quote] But the stats are not accurate because they protect yield from the WL too. Our kid got emails from the waitlisted schools saying, we are taking a select few student from the WL soon, do you want to be considered? They basically want you to accept before giving you the offer, like a very last round of ED without the contract. So the stats they publish do not include the kids who got that email and said no (my DC said no to those emails from two schools, yes to a third and was accepted at that one the next day with a large merit award, surprisingly). Some of these happened before the deposit deadline too.[/quote]
