Unless I am being completely bamboozled, my telephone conversation with a Northwestern Adcom convinces me that they are active but not currently offering admission. So here's the straight ****. I called the office and slightly harangued them, and this much is true. They are taking people off the waitlist. (Shocker) When I asked them what sort of numbers we were talking about (this guy was british, so don't be confused), he said "they were going to be accepting quite a large (number, percentage, amount, I can't remember the exact wording) of our waitlisted applicants". So who knows what that means, but hearing positivity from an Adcom or secretary is pretty rare. He also divulged that the earliest responses would be in a few weeks. I know that people have already been replied to, but they seem like people that the adcoms "tuft syndrome"d and whom they really want now. So... I'm inclined to believe him, no? I'm thinking two weeks. By the end of May for the bulk of people they're planning to remove from the list, and that sounds substantial. They must have really screwed up yield.

Carleton had 495 students accept admission offers. So they'll probably be looking at maybe 20? If anyone has heard of any calls going out that would be great.
