Nothing can be confirmed until at least May 1, news might not come out until as late as May 20th... it really sucks

For some reason, I thought I read somewhere (on the internet) that Harvard's wait-list has 700 students (this year). That info could be completely erroneous, but I'm just throwing another number out there, and hoping it's right!

Fitzsimmons said that the admissions office might be relying more than usual on the waitlist—which numbers in the “many hundreds”—to fill up the Class of 2012.

While "many hundreds" could technically be ten or eleven or fifteen, I don't think you would use that phrase unless the number is under 1,000.

For some reason, I have a feeling that it's more than 1000. IDK, maybe it's just teh fact that like 4/5 people who applied from my school were WL.

Here's hoping that the waitlist is less than 1000.

Also, my mom called the admissions office and whoever she talked to said that they had a financial aid package for me, but that I shouldn't read anything into it. Do you guys think it really means nothing and they just do it for everyone on the waitlist?
