Waitlist Probability

<p>Yea, I’ve been going through these numbers. Didn’t realize a place like Chicago would have such a low yield, or that 40% would ever be considered large. It’s terrifying that over 2000 students will need to decline the offer for the waitlistees to be considered. Going through these threads, it just seems like Chicago’s gaining popularity incessantly. Will that many really decline? Will there be that many MIT/Stan/Ivy cross-admits?</p>

<p>I was happy for the first two days after the result, but then I took an arrow to the knee.</p>
