Chances of being taken off the WAITLIST

<p>I just found it in [today’s NY Times](<a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/31/education/31college.html?ref=us”>http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/31/education/31college.html?ref=us&lt;/a&gt;). The article mentions that Bowdoin is not need-blind for wait list and transfer applicants. It says the same thing for Middlebury and Brandeis so I would guess that perhaps this is the normal practice for many LACs.</p>
