Thanks oldfort. I did a CC search and read all the threads; and then a google search and read the recent (yesterday) Education News, [The Waitlist Strategy | EducationNews.org](http://www.educationnews.org/commentaries/opinions_on_education/152385.html), NYT article, Time magazine and USNews articles and anything else I could find. Sometimes the articles had conflicting advice. The numbers for this specific school aren’t that encouraging. My question was specifically wondering if the GC called the regional rep and said my son would take the offer of admission if it was extended; is it offensive not to matriculate should the offer come through? Our thoughts are yes, you shouldn’t say you’ll go if you have any doubt whatsoever.
