Colleges always over-admit students. Let’s say College XY admits 3200 students but only 1400 would enroll. This is very usual. But schools can’t always exactly predict their yield: what percent of accepted students would enroll.
And in case the number of actually enrolling students is too low, they make use of their waitlist, if they have one.
