<p>So being waitlisted from what I've read seems like just like regular adimissions; complete mystery and no sense of direction. anyone care to part with some enlightenment?</p>
<p>Also, at my school 2 kids got into dartmouth but most likely won't be attending. I got waitlisted. if they decline their dartmouth admission, is there a higher chance of me getting off the waitlist?</p>
<p>Sorry, but no one knows. The waitlist process at all schools is shrouded in mystery. Just wait it out and see what happens.</p>
<p>“I got waitlisted. if they decline their dartmouth admission, is there a higher chance of me getting off the waitlist?”</p>
<p>I don’t think they compare people from the same school, so it won’t be a huge boost or anything. But the lower the yield, the more people they take off the waitlist, so it might raise your chances <em>very slightly</em>. :P</p>
