[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of DC who applied last year. We said the same thing. The waitlists will move. They didn’t. Focus on the acceptances, have hope for the remaining, but don’t hold out for a waitlist. The chances are so small.[/quote]

they may be small but still there, I know one kid from DC private that got off WL at Vandy in May couple of years ago[/quote]

Yes, my friend's son got off WL at UPenn & Brown in [b]2020[/b][/quote]

2020, a year tons of kids got off waitlists because people changed plans due to covid, not to be confused with 2021 or, perhaps, 2022.[/quote]

Kids got off WL a lot in 2021 too--maybe not as much at schools like Penn, Brown and Vanderbilt--but at a lot of other schools.  Enrollment is just getting harder to predict as top kids are putting in so many apps.[/quote]

The data in the list I posted earlier is based on 2021 WL.

Are you sure it's 2021? I notice that UCSB has a 96% waitlist acceptance rate which was the rate from 2020. [/quote]

I assumed they would put the most recent data since it was dated Dec 2021, and the one school I know had the correct numbers from 2021, but perhaps some schools didn't have updated data ? [/quote]
