It would be interesting to look waitlist yield versus regular yield. Mine got off a different Ivy (not HYPS) last year and befriended a handful they met on a revisit. They all accepted.

How do you know that the AO checked financial aid status?

where did you hear this? I know a kid who has another 5 days to reply to a Brown waitlist offer so it would seem like the current round of offers is not a done deal?
Brown will send email when it is done, assume most schools do same.

Both schools admitted more students this year—150 for Stanford and 100 for Yale so maybe they miscalculated yield.
Stanford is expanding the freshman class by 150 this year, so not just more admits but more spots in the class.

Maybe people are choosing instate or merit due to uncertain finances?

I don't think Dartmouth will move this year. They admitted about 25 off the waitlist last year and offered 30 more acceptances this year.
Unless they get a unexpectedly low yield it's going to be a wash.
Any update on Dartmouth?
