<p>I share your speculation on moving more from the admitted status to the waitlist. Using that rationale, they would try to keep the number of people to pull from the wait list about the same (+/-300 offers hoping to get about +/-30 actual accepted students). This would mean that the odds for those on the wait list will be less than last year (30/6000 = 0.5% vs 30/3000 = 1% last year) - either way, the chances do not look good for waitlisted in my opinion. </p>
