Waitlist Mythical Legend?

I think some schools use the term “deferred” in a similar way to other schools’ waitlists. I personally know at least 10 kids who have gotten into several of the major schools mentioned on CC off the waitlists - but I would add one caution. This is going back 2-4 years, and from what I have seen and heard the last year or so, some of the yields were so high, that it seems not to be as likely to get in off a waitlist as it was just a few years ago.

And I agree with a previous poster - most schools do not “number” their waitlists - instead, they are looking for a similar type to the opening they have.
