This year the admit rate was 22%, according to the website. I THINK waitlists will be used a lot this year, but I say that with some caution only because I think the more selective the school, the less likely kids decline offers of admissions past the class size.

So, they accepted 1100 plus students and the class size is a little more than half of that.

This said.. you never know unless you try. There is absolutely nothing to lose by opting to stay on, UNTIL the deposits are due and then, of course, you risk your deposit if you should get it.

And if you do get in off the waitlist, tell the other school ASAP. Obviously there are kids waitlisted therel who would LOVE to see you leave to make room for them!
