| @Mondo going back to what you wrote in post 852...I totally agree it's comical and we could be seeing activity on these waitlists (probably including the currently inactive ones all through the summer! It is just like a domino effect: as people get accepted at their dream school fromthe waitlist, they turn down their current school which then has to go to the waitlist: this could go on forever. How long will everyone hold out hope for their dream school? Is there a cutoff? Like after you've moved into your dorm of the "less desired" college?

| Update for Georgetown University.... they are taking from Georgetown SFS and Georgetown College... they weren't looking at MSB or NHS.
and i'd assume SFS would be most active due to HYP's activity.

| Several students have claimed to get off the Oberlin waitlist, so I assume it's active, if only slightly. Also, Macalester Admissions Office said that they're over enrolled.
