Some specific questions about the waitlist

Well, I’ve been trying to use my friend called Google, but finding information about waitlists and stuff has really been a bit tougher than I thought it would be.

I have some specific questions:

1) Where can I find out how many students are on the waitlist, and over the years how many have been admitted? And by school?

2) From what I understand, there is a priority waitlist for those who only applied for one school. Does this mean we are penalized for applying to both schools?

3) Are waitlisted applications reevaluated and reranked? From what I’ve read, waitlisted applications are unranked.

4) Is it possible to get an interview now? I didn’t have one, and I thought it was only available for those in pilot areas, but I’ve learned that a student from a nearby high school also had his interview.

5) This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I forgot to mention my ~220 hours of community service. Should this impact my waitlisted application? I also have a lot I’ve done senior year to add onto my application
