[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The WL info is very interesting, especially in light of how few kids get off college waitlists these days. I think this is an area with private school kids have a huge leg up - counselors call and advocate for your WL kid.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like you all should wait for RD before you claim how schools have done with admissions goes this year.  There is a marked shift in ED/EA - with many more defers (and rejections) than in the past - but none of us knows how those EA/ED deferrals will play out in in the RD round or how all the submitted RD applications will go.[/quote]

+1 My \DC was in this position last year. All the WL schools came through except for two highly overenrolled schools (glad to have dodged that in hindsight). Keep a very close eye on your email. Some came through before the RD enrollment deadline; all of them had very quick turn arounds. The email said things like -- we are about to take a select few from the WL, so let us know within __ that you are still interested. One was a 24 hour turn around DC almost missed. Stay on top of it.[/quote][/quote]

All full pay students do well with respect to waitlists as it is the one area of admissions that even top schools are need aware.[/quote]
It's true that even top schools are need-aware for WL admission. It's not true that all full pay students do well - there would need to be much more WL movement for that to be true. Over the past couple of years, many top schools have struggled with yield management, many end up overenrolled or otherwise full and unable to pull from the WL.

(Anecdotal example, my high school class of 2021 kid, full pay/high score, 7 waitlists, zero WL acceptances)[/quote]
