<p>Well, if your numbers are correct, and if it is true that Harvard can fit 1660 students this year, as I have been told, that would mean they could enroll up to 81%. This would give anywhere from about 100-200 students on the wait list a chance to get in. This corresponds with what Mr. Fitzsimmons has said, that Harvard expects to take approximately 200 students off of the wait list this year. It is a good year for you and me!</p>
<p>As for my personal expectation, while I am slightly biased, I expect nonetheless that they will take from the wait list. The low acceptance rate is a precaution; it does not reflect what they actually believe will occur, as the Dean has said.</p>
