<p>I am waitlisted at Olin and I was wondering if not enough admitted students commit to Olin by May 1, do they go to the Olin waitlist and accept students from the particular school?</p>
<p>Yes; if less than 135 freshman commit, they will accept people off the Olin waitlist. However, they've admitted well beyond this number, realizing that a number of students will decide to attend college elsewhere. Therefore, don't get your hopes up too high. If you really want to go to WashU, call admissions, let your regional representative know of your interest, and be persistent in this communication. Such interest often makes the difference between someone accepted off the waitlist and someone simply on the waitlist.</p>
