<p>i thought top schools only took very few people from the waitlist, but i could be wrong. either way its an impressive statistic</p>
<p>Well, I guess there’s a chance this web site could be wrong, too, because look at this:</p>
<p>MIT
604 placed on wait list
524 accepted from wait list
1 enrolled from wait list</p>
<p>Does anyone else find this strange? Who else publishes wait list stats?</p>
<p>Whoa, those stats from MIT don’t make sense. I’m also skeptical about the 32% waiting list acceptance rate, but it’s interesting to hear.</p>
<p>Waiting list is different from deferral. Deferral is only an early decision thing but waiting list is after regular decision.</p>
