[quote=Anonymous]If declining is important for freeing up spots to the waitlist prior to May 1, the school will have a button. If a school doesn't have a button, assume that declining is not going to impact their waitlinst between now and May 1. Once May 1 comes and you haven't deposited, your offer of admission is revoked anyway.

Always keep in mind that there is NEVER one-for-one declined acceptance for a waitlist acceptance. A top school with RD yield of 30% will still accept in RD triple the number of spots they have left (after early decision), which in most cases means a couple thousand kids need to decline before the school would move on the waitlist. Or they would need to be receiving more declines than they have in past years for this point in April.

Most schools don't worry about the declines. Their enrollment management consultants, via extensive algorithms, track [i]deposits[/i]. If they aren't on track for deposits compared to prior years, they might start to move on the waitlist before May 1.[/quote]
