How realistic is the waitlist? My sense is that waitlisted students are all strong candidates with excellent options and good portion of admitted students will be accepted elsewhere and may choose those schools. If you are really interested in Colgate how likely are waitlisted students to be accepted.
Last year 1,520 were waitlisted, 780 accepted the wl spot and 32 were eventually admitted.
The yr prior, the numbers were 1,896, 913 and 49
