first off, it's "dog eat dog" world.

Second, the reason why they don't is because 90% of the time, you know whether you're accepting your waitlist admit within about 5 mins of getting it. It would also be a total waste of money to put on a day for what, 15 students? Would they do it for every round? It's just impractical.

Also, if you want to make yourself feel better, don't look at it scarsta's way (and trust me, as a varsity athlete who is not a starter, I know all about the "being the reserve" feeling) most college admissions people will tell you that once they have their freshman class, if you were to throw out all those applicants and make them choose again from the remaining ones, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two classes. While only 15% get in, I'd venture 75% are perfectly qualified to be here.
