<p>Just called the admissions office. Seems like they will be using the waitlist a lot this year. First meeting is tomorrow for admissions committee, but it will be a rolling process that will go all the way into June. Admitted students will be informed by phone, email, and package. (Don't know about those rejected...)</p>
<p>If you are wondering whether your materials were received or not, just call up the admissions office. They are really helpful (and the lady was really nice as well).</p>
<p>i called the admissions office too, and they're definitely using the waitlist. deliberations start soon and they'll start making phone calls next week i believe.</p>
<p>please explain. I don't understand. Do you know the number of actual waitlisted students? so, if they take around 200 off this list, what % is that?</p>
<p>No one knows how many students are on the list. In their letter to waitlistees, they said "several hundred" had been waitlisted. To me, that would be anywhere from 100-2000. If the list was 1500, and 2/3 accept their spot, that means 200 is 20% of the waitlisted class. That also means that they probably had a yield oof around 70-75%</p>
<p>It makes more sense that they'd send out acceptance letters as soon as possible, but what did Fitzsimmons mean by a lot of people would be happy in June? That leads me to think that even though they said the bulk of decisions would be made by the end of this month, they won't send them until later. That seems wrong though.</p>
