<p>For Fall 1998 to 2000 they say they use a wait list - but they provide no data on how many applicants were on it , or how many, if any were admitted.</p>
<p>From the available data, it does not seem that they have made much use of their wait list in the past. You might want to contact Admissions and ask them if they intend to go to the wait list this year and what your chances are.</p>

<p>What do you think about these waitlist numbers. My question is the # of students admitted from the waitlist? Do you think these are the # of students who were accepted from the wait list, and said yes I will attend. Or do you think these are the # of students that were offered admission, and only a fraction of them accepted. What are your thoughts?</p>
