How many percentage is on the waitlist?

<p>I just found out that I'm on the wait list.
I'm glad that I'm waitlisted, because I don't really have any strengths and was expecting to be rejected. Weak GPA, no SAT2, no AP score reported, not many extracurriculars, no awards, nothing.</p>

<p>I read the thread? thing and figured that bunch of people are waitlisted.
Does anyone know how many percentage or roughly how many ppl are waitlisted?!</p>

<p>I don't expect to be accepted, but jw.</p>

<p>same here! I was kind of expecting rejection but waitlisted LOL
but I don’t see much difference between the two</p>

<p>I am wondering about this too. I have heard many rumors, including ones from guidance counselors, on WashU’s large waitlist. It has to at least be less than the percentage rejected, am I correct in assuming?</p>

<p>I’ve heard that WUSTL waitlists 100% of the people they don’t accept. I’m not sure as to how true it is but I heard it from a reliable source, I’m just wondering if any of you have heard otherwise or have evidence for this.</p>

<p>Of course I mean no offense to anybody who may have been rejected, I am only posting a statistic that I heard.</p>

<p>Look at the results thread. There are rejections, so no that is not true.</p>

<p>I find it pointless. If you only plan on taking a handful (or none) of students from the waitlist, then why place thousands of people on it? End it early, please.</p>

<p>No that’s not true, but what is true is that they waitlist a bizarre number of applicants.</p>

<p>At my school, according to naviance, no one has been rejected in the last four year(that’s as far back as the stats go). Only waitlist or acceptance.</p>
