[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone talk about expected waitlist movement? We are shocked that DS wasn't an outright admit, and he is kicking himself for not applying ED. Is there anything we can do to better his chances of getting off the waitlist?[/quote] My suspicion is these colleges that got significantly more applications (William and Mary got 27% more) largely due to test optional, don't really know what their yield will be. So they are probably thinking they need to be a bit conservative in admissions (so as not to overenroll), and then they will have to fill to target through wait list.[/quote] Did they take a higher percentage ED this year? If they did, it will probably counteract this. In periods of uncertainty, colleges are incented to accept an even higher percentage early. [/quote]
