<p>I was accepted off the waitlist for the class of 2010, but i didn’t do anything to try and get them to accept me. I just sent in my SIR to another school and agonized over which school to go to when i was accepted off the waitlist. I believe that year there were 10-15 waitlisted students that either were accepted or matriculated (though take that knowledge with a grain of salt, it’s just a number i seem to have floating in my head.)</p>
