<p>Are colleges accepting less and waitlisting more, or are they accepting normally and waitlisting more?</p>
<p>I'm curious because I've been waitlisted by five schools of varying selectivity.</p>
<p>Seems like that's true for some schools...if you look at the Harvey Mudd board, a lot of people have been waitlisted.</p>
<p>You've not mentioned another highly probable option: accepting more, and also waitlisting more.</p>
<p>Actually the real option is that they're guessing more.</p>
<p>I don't think there is any singular approach admissions is taking, just that they all know their previous data is not very helpful.</p>

<p>I think this possibility slipped my mind because I really don't want it to be the case. lol</p>
