<p>Yeah we have that too from at least one school. The only way to get into that school is ED, where they know they will get a positive return from reading your application. </p>
<p>A few years back when Washington University in St Louis was waitlisting 75% of the applicants from our high school, and few of them accepted a spot on the waitlist. I speculated that they weren’t even reading all of the the applications until the applicant accepted a place on the waitlist. Some people on the WUSTL board were offended, but if the yield is so low, perhaps their strategy makes sense from their point of view, though it seems unethical to me.</p>
<p>It does seem strange for them to make that comment after YOU took the time to visit their open house.</p>
