<p>So does anyone know waitlist statistics? Son got waitlisted, unfortuately. It was his top choice. He visited twice but we are not in a financial position for him to apply ED. Any idea how many students are offered the waitlist, how many usually accept the waitlist and how many are usually drawn from the waitlist. I know that it is a very iffy thing depending on overall yield. But if they offer waitlist to 500 kids, then we know the chances of getting off are slim. </p>
<p>If he decides to pursue the waitlist, what additional things should he send? He recently won his large high school’s short story contest. Should he send the story or just the fact that he won? He sent 3 recs with the original application. Should he look for another? Other things to send?</p>
