<p>Thanks, jchartier.</p>
<p>I think the question you’d want to ask people who were taken off the waitlist is what their intended course of study was. Schools use the waitlist to balance out discrepancies between interests in the incoming class too, right?</p>
<p>True. I think they look for a lot of things. Just that in this climate with Rice’s generous FA for lower-income families, all things being equal, I’d lean toward the full-payers.</p>
<p>They claim that their waitlist is also need-blind, though.</p>
