<p>Yea, the woman I spoke to seemed encouraging and said that priority only went to a small group that wouldn't disqualify me from the running no matter how things turned out in turns of waitlist reversals.</p>

<p>Im really hoping to reverse this decision, they said that they waitlisted 200-300 students on average per year (this year was no exception) and that only a certain percentage of those waitlistees actually pursue the waitlisting option.</p>

<p>So once you eliminate the people who didn't accept the waitlist, your left with a smaller group of people that depending on how yielding turns out... leaves you with a significant chance of getting in.</p>

<p>But I could be horribly wrong too.</p>

<p>If they really do only put 200-300 on the waitlist, and they have accepted up to 175 from their, and not everyone accepts, that would be a really good chance. I’m just hoping that some recent achievements of mine (All-Conference in basketball, named to several All-Academic, leadership things, etc.) help.</p>
