<p>If you use the “Search this Thread” tool at the top of the page and type in a College’s name, you can see right away if the Schools wait list stats were posted previously.</p>

<p>To search for the most recent Wait List Info visit the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/76444-links-common-data-sets-posted-colleges-24.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/76444-links-common-data-sets-posted-colleges-24.html&lt;/a&gt; Thread.
Starting at post 350 on Page 24 is the most recent update of the Common Data Set Links.</p>

<p>See if the College you are researching is listed with a link to the CDS
(It it isn’t you can still go to the colleges web site and search for “Common Data Set” or “Institutional Research”</p>

<p>Go to the CDS for the year you are interested in - the most recent posted will be Fall 2009</p>

<p>The Wait List Stats are in Section C of the Common Data Set</p>

<p>Then come back and post what you find here :)</p>

<p>Anything recent on Tulane? I’ve heard that historically, their yield is very low (free applications combined with Katrina stigma), and that they pulled many from the list last year, but I’m not sure how accurate that is.</p>

They post a Fact Book - not their Common Data Set
It doesn’t have wait list data</p>

<p>Rice has a page with answers to frequently asked questions about its wait list.

3 How many offers will be made to wait-listed students?

The number of available spaces cannot be determined until after all admitted students respond to our offer of admission by May 1. If fewer than 940 students accept our offer of admission by that date, we will make offers from the waiting list to fill the class in May or June. Over the last five years, 175 students have been admitted from the wait list.

<p>Didn’t find the CDS posted on the Rice web site.</p>
