<p>Topic question. :(</p>

<p>It’s totally dependent on how many people accept the offer of admission. You can see numbers for the last few years at the Common Data Set ([MIT</a> Office of the Provost, Institutional Research](<a href=“MIT Institutional Research”>MIT Institutional Research)), but the number who are admitted off the waitlist this year will depend on the number of admits who decide to come.</p>

<p>Looks like 6% of last year’s wait list (35 kids…) ended up going.</p>

<p>Meeeeeh.</p>

4

<p>Hmmm, it says that the waitlist isn’t ranked, so do they go through all those apps again or something?</p>

5

<p>Yes, they do.</p>

<p>If they find they need to go to the waitlist, they’ll have another day of selection where they go through and discuss everybody’s application again.</p>

<p>OUCH! Dan I told you Haverford was your best bet! Either that, or come to NYU with me! haha</p>

<p>Christiansoldier - you’re the first person to realize that my name is an acronym of that card. Congratulations! :D</p>

<p>NP you said I would get rejected from MIT. So I proved you wrong.</p>

<p>Do you think you could use your effect to get me Premature Burial? I would totally use it on MIT right now.</p>

<p>I don’t want to pay the Life Points. Sorry.</p>
