<p>How many people were waitlisted this year?</p>
<p>I was waitlisted too! What do you think are the chances of us getting off the waitlist?!</p>
<p>Shameless bump in the hopes of hearing waitlist chances from anyone.
Or if anyone knows past waitlist statistics maybe?</p>
<p>Also waitlisted! I’m not getting my hopes up though. I have no idea what the chances are of getting off the wait list, but I’m guessing they’re pretty small…</p>
<p>I am waitlisted too! Washigton University in St.Louis</p>
<p>Waitlisted…</p>
<p>A lot of people got waitlisted this year in general, I heard. No source though.</p>
<p>In recent years approximately 1-3% have gotten off the waitlist. It is usually about 1200-1500 and anywhere from a handful to about 50 get in. Those are pretty dismal statistics.</p>
<p>Heh</p>
<p>UChicago FTW</p>
<p>Hence, thanks for playing. Alright, glad to know. Time to move on I guess…</p>
<p>And I assume the stats are similar for SEAS too?</p>
<p>~Sigh.</p>
<p>Someone help me out with the math here please? Columbia accepts 6.9% from 34500, so roughly 2250 admitted. I read that the yield rate for last year is 59% which gives a total of 1327 to fill a class of 1800?</p>
<p>tomyo, about a third of the class is accepted ED and the yield there is almost 100%. 59% yield is only for RD applicants.</p>
<p>Waitlisted also… I expected a yes or a no. Not a “Yeah, but…”. So I don’t know how to feel about it, especially when I know the chances of me getting off said waitlist are abysmal.</p>
<p>Then again, how many people applied to Columbia simply because it was convenient, with little to no intent of actually enrolling if admitted? That might be to our benefit, yes?</p>
<p>So Columbia must be expecting a lot less yield? They accepted 2419 students this year and if the yield stayed there will be 1427 students plus 650ish more??? Together of over 2000???</p>
