Is it really necessary for those accepting a place on Harvard’s waitlist to remind Harvard that it is one’s first choice school ?

If the applicant has been accepted to Stanford, Princeton, Yale, MIT or another first choice school, it seems as though it would not be necessary to remain on any waitlist–including Harvard’s waitlist. Otherwise, it seems reasonable to assume that Harvard is the waitlisted applicant’s first choice school.

As a sidenote: It would be interesting to see Harvard’s cross admit yield with schools such as Stanford, MIT, Princeton, & Yale.
