I spoke directly with an admissions officer about Columbia’s waitlist this year (my son was waitlisted at columbia, but was admitted to brown and is going to brown). He said that they have absolutely no idea whether they will go to the waitlist or not, and if so how many they will take, because it totally depends upon the yield. each year is different.
