[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I don't have admissions data to back this up, I would venture to say that the top schools likely don't over-admit because there is a higher likelihood for someone to accept. If you don't want to end up in an over enrolled state, its smarter to admit for the spaces you have and pull from the waitlist as spots open up. That's why I would tell people that deciding to lose all hope (and therefore not express pro-active interest in continuing the process) is a mistake. Worst case it doesn't help, but best case you get one of the slots when someone drops out.[/quote] Yes to this. My child got in at a big 3 in 9th less than a week after admission decisions were sent out. Probably from a kid who went to another top private so the spot opened. Don’t lose all hope! [/quote]
