But there is presumably a one-to-one relationship between WL offers declined and WL offers made. In other words, if a school has already decided that they have an extra spot to fill, they make an offer to someone on the WL, and that student declines, then they make an offer to someone else meeting roughly that same demographic on the WL. I see know that my domino effect post was poorly worded, in that what I meant (but didn’t clearly say) was that if a student has already committed to school #1, then gets in off the WL at school #2 and decides to go to school #2, now school #1 has a spot that they thought was filled but is not and they will very likely go to the WL to fill that spot (unless they were actually over-enrolled and they’re happy to have a cancellation).
