I would also expect that many above average people be waitlisted, but I would have no idea the proportion vs. those with “kinda” above average stats. Oh, and that’s interesting, I would not have expected that to be the case. As in I would not have expected need to be factored in once people are waitlisted. Do you think that has any sort of effect on the stats? Could that indirectly explain why maybe more of the extremely high stat. individuals yield? Based upon your hypothesis, it could be, right? Maybe certain higher stat. individuals also have higher income and therefore come off the waitlist more easily than others . Who knows though. Seems weird. I really wonder what effect that treatment of the waitlist will have on the ultimate enrollment numbers and stats in the end, if they have any effect at all. Do you think Vanderbilt pulls from the waitlist a decent amount (this is the only way such considerations or tactics could have any real effect. If wl essentially=denial for everyone on it, then it doesn’t really matter)? Perhaps the trend could be opposite what I suggest whereby those folks who aren’t well above average on the waitlist tend to get pulled off because they may have less need. And then once pulled off, they yield.
