Much Better to be Waitlisted Than Deferred

I guess if you knew that you were relatively high on the WL that would make a difference…<<




But you never know where you stand on a wait list. I’ve never heard of any school putting out such info.

Your odds are much worse on wait lists. Depending on the RD yield, some schools in a given year end up taking only a handful of students off the WL - in the single digits or even none at all.
