Hi, I was waitlisted RD. Does anyone know how many students are typically taken off the waitlist? Or how many students are waitlisted?
12% of students were waitlisted last year. Not sure about this year…
For those taken off the waitlist, it’s about 5-10% in the past, but technically it can be zero if they overenrolled. However, they accepted 741 students this year for a class of about 415, so going with their typical yield of 50% that would mean about 45 students would be accepted off of the waitlist. Usually 60% of waitlist people accept their position, so that’s a 45/445 acceptance rate (10%).
Apparently though, since more and more students are applying to a larger number of schools, the yield could potentially be a bit lower and they may have to get more people off the waitlist. It’s all speculation though and I don’t think any of these stats are ever really released.
Here are the numbers from last year:
offered waitlist: 990
stayed on waitlist: 608
accepted from waitlist: 26
