[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like a silly chain. What's the point?[/quote] They do this every year. I feel like it just gives some false hope for those that are waitlisted.[/quote] How is it false hope? If you see a bunch of people turning down your first choose and you are waitlisted, it absolutely means there is a chance you’ll get a call. Seems like logic to me. Not hope. [/quote] Schools know their typical yield and account for it in their admission numbers. It doesn’t mean they won’t go to their waitpools, but just because you see that 10 people are declining spots for 9th at X school doesn’t mean there will be spots. School X likely over-admitted by 20 or so.[/quote] Additionally, the posts here are not statistically significant enough to give sufficient info and data points. Five people on DCUM turning down one school does not mean a school will now go to its waitlist.[/quote]
