I am not certain the waitlist ever “officially conclude{s},” at least not before September. At various points (starting already) the waitlist will be pared down, with some of the people on it notified that they will no longer be considered. But they always keep some number of files open for “summer melt.” Kids who have deposited get off the waitlist at colleges they prefer, or decide to take a gap year, or decide not to go to college yet, or get sick . . . . There can be one or two people taken off the waitlist any time.
