<p>Hello to all of my companions on the waitlist. It appears as though the number of people on the waitlist is up there with the number of people who think Illinois is going to win the NCAA championship (I personally like North Carolina). Anyway, has anybody actually tried calling the admissions office to see if they will reveal the number of people who are on the waitlist? Does anyone have any statistics that aren’t simply based on speculation? I’m just trying to figure out how much of a shot I’ll have if I take a chance and stay on the waitlist.</p>
