<p>(** It looks like they forgot to clear the Wait List fields on the 2001 Common Data Set form, because it is highly unlikely that the numbers would be exactly the same as 2000. But that’s what they posted on the web site.)</p>

<p>Rich you think you can grab a Villanova one?</p>

468

<p>For any school that “crafts” its classes, I don’t think the stats matter much. It’s more a matter of luck that they end up short in just the features you have. If they need a left-handed physicist ballerina from the mid-west, she gets the call.</p>

<h2>The Prospective College Students on CC have an opportunity to do some research and share the results with every one else on CC.</h2>

<p>How to find Waitlist Info.
Look at the Colleges Common Data Set Information.
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/76444-links-common-data-sets-posted-colleges-19.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/76444-links-common-data-sets-posted-colleges-19.html&lt;/a&gt; The list starting on page 19 post # 280 has links to many Colleges CDS postings.</p>

<p>I find the Common Data Set information by going to a College’s web site and using their websites Search tool to look for “Common Data Set”.</p>

<p>If the College Makes them available, there are usually a few years of them available.
Look at Section C - First Year, First Time Freshman Admission.</p>

<p>There is lots of info there on the incoming class for that year, including the wait-list info.</p>

<p>I like to post a link back to the College Web site, so you can check the facts for your self. ( Sort of an electronic foot note)</p>

<hr>

<p>If the college doesn’t post the Common Data Sets, call the College Admissions Office or Registrar and ask them for the Common Data Set info.
They have it, every College fills it out to supply US News and World Report, Kaplans, Princeton Review and the other Rating organizations with data.</p>

<hr>

<p>Now that you know how to fish, share your findings with the rest of us. :)</p>
