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?

Hey leaderman, I called yesterday too and the admission representative said that people should start hearing pretty soon. He told me that they started reviewing the waitlisted applicants last week and that some decisions had already been made. I didn't ask about numbers though =/ I hope you're right haha!
