<p>I know there are other wait list threads, but I have particular questions.</p>
<p>If there are 1000-1500 people on the list, what are the chances of all 1500 people sending in supplemental material? What are the chances that Columbia was the first choice for all 1500?
Am I really "competing" for a spot or am I "granted" admission based on what I send (does that make sense?)? </p>
<p>How serious are these wait-listees?! I'd just like to get a better idea of what I am going up against. Blegh. </p>
<p>Gracias!</p>
