Wash U games the system like no other. They’ve been doing it for years. One way is to waitlist higher qualified students. Its a huge win for them. Only the top students that need to come push the point, and the others increase their yield and therefore lower their acceptance rate. And all over the country students at other schools sat “I got into Brown but was waitlisted at washU” so it makes them seem more selective.
