FWIW, I think Cornell’s WL is ridiculous, along with the guaranteed transfer options. For a school with almost a 60% yield, it’s totally unnecessary to offer that many WLs. That said, all the information about size and #s that are offered admission is available on the common data set. IMO, every student should do a deep dive of the CDS for every school on their list.
