<p>Is there a realistic chance of getting off of the waitlist? I think there was some previous post with statistics on this. Would like to know how many are on the waitlist this year. They ask about updating the file with recent accomplishments. What is the best way to do this?</p>
<p>They’re not going to know exact numbers until May 1st, when the admitted students have to make their decisions. </p>
