<p>Maybe 200 opted to stay on the waitlist from an original list of 700?</p>

<p>^ Um, I'm sure that figure would be much too low. I can't imagine 500 students turning down the waitlist.</p>

<p>i suppose it might alleviate anxiety. but does it really matter how many people are on the waitlist? 200 or 700, there isn't a whole lot you can do in a period of less than 1 month short of curing AIDS that can vastly improve your chances of getting off of the waitlist.</p>

<p>If you are interested, here's a link to last year's waitlist discussions, including the Z-list:</p>

Being on the Z-list means being accepted for the following year's class subject to a 1 yr deferral. If you are offered such a conditional acceptance, you will hear about it.
