I actually don't think so. These schools have all moving like 5-10 spots. Not a whole lot at all.

Interesting analysis on CC:

- So exciting to see so much WL movement so early in the process. Summer melt should also be active.

- Since there does seem to be so much waitlist movement, I wonder how that will affect colleges in terms of planning for the fall? I know that waitlists are generally designed for the benefit of the college, but if they let a waitlist kid in on May 5 who then drops a different school that picks up a waitlist kid who committed to a different school, and on and on, it seems as though the musical chairs activity could be potentially as problematic as the yield projections they were trying to do with their initial offers to students. Waitlists seem beneficial if there are only a few students being moved off the waitlist, or if there are only a few schools using waitlists. But the more pervasive waitlist usage is, the more I question its benefits for colleges as a whole.

- The musical chairs has always been part of the WL offers. What seems a tad different this year is the short, time-limited “exploding offer”. Have previously only seen that in job offers! My guess is, as students find and settle into their acceptances, including those who get into desired schools from WLs, the acceptance of WL spots will drop off as students pay their deposits at other schools, find roommates, make move-in plans, etc. There are always those who will hold out for a strongly desired school, but my guess is that many WL offers will ultimately be declined by the students (as several have posted in this thread).

What about Harvard?

I would call and inquire? I think someone on Reddit was doing that yesterday. Please report back.
