When you received your letter of acceptance to the University of Rochester did you accept it or deny it. Just trying to see how many spot are potentially opened for the waitlist, thank you.
I am waiting to hear from NYU, but U of R is right at the very top. Got an outstanding scholarship that you cannot beat with a stick, and they have the program I want (neuroscience) at U of R. I’ve heard that the wait list is very hard to get off of. Sorry 
Waitlists have become less useful. Schools have better data and they’re better at predicting acceptances versus offers.
@Lergnom I’m not sure that is always the case, though. Because many students are applying to ever increasing numbers of schools (I’ve seen 28, and 31, here on CC for example), some colleges have started using waitlists in an effort to gauge sincere interest, and fine tune their yields.
That may be but most reports I’ve seen are fewer wait list admits.
