| Here's something that, if true, is fascinating about the H waitlist. I've read in the past on CC that the waitlisted students are not in any priority order; they're there to provide a pool of talent from which H admissions can draw to maintain the balance of skills in their handcrafted class. The next person who backs out doesn't open a spot for the "top" person on the waitlist. The loss of a soprano opens up a spot for a soprano, the loss of a debater makes them seek another debater, etc. Can anyone confirm that that's true? |
