<p>The message i received said there was a “short” waitlist for the college of engineering. Anyone have a clue what “short” might mean?</p>
<p>I read on a thread last year that it was some 1700-odd students. One year they took a fraction of the students on the list. Another, they took a majority.</p>
<p>This is assuming they even decide to accept anyone at ALL from the wait-list. </p>
<p>BU accepts far more than however many seats they fill, but there is absolutely no telling how big that list is, and where your name is on it.</p>
