Oops, they are not talking about Wash U
For those "massive Wait list" believers...


“In what may be a happy surprise for thousands of high school seniors, Harvard plans to offer admission to 150 to 175 students on its waiting list, and Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania each expect to take 90, creating ripples that will send other highly selective colleges deeper into their waiting lists as well.

WashU is also reaching into his Wait List students. But we will never know how many they accept from the WL because WashU is "shy" about sharing this kind of data
