[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From VT website:
What is Virginia Tech's history of selecting students from the waitlist?
Last year, we were able to offer 2,458 applicants from the waitlist. In 2021, we were able to offer 3,286 applicants from the waitlist. In 2020, we were able to offer 3,961 applicants from the waitlist. In 2019, we were unable to make any offers. In 2018, we were able to offer 1,896 applicants from our waitlist. In 2017, we were unable to make any offers. As you can see, the number of students ultimately receiving offers from the waitlist is highly unpredictable and variable. [/quote]

This makes it sound like most years VaTech ultimately offered admission to hundreds/thousands of students on the waitlist?  That seems much higher than most schools? Below is the information from the 2020-21 Common Data Set.  Combined with the information on the website above, does this establish that 3,286 of 4,924 were offered admission but only 86 accepted (presumably because by July most had made other plans)?  Am I missing something?

[i]Number of qualified applicants offered a place on the waiting list: 8,690

Number accepting a place on the waiting list: 4924

Number of wait-listed students admitted: 86[/i][/quote]
