Also understand that one student declining admission does not necessarily equal one taken from the waitlist. A school will not go to the wait list until the number of committments is less than the space they have. For example, if a school wants to enroll 100 students and typically has an annual yield of 70%, they will send admission letters to 142 applicants. Only after the 43th person declines will they be underenrolled and need to consider going to their waitlist.
