<p>From all the articles that I have read, it seems that far more people were wait listed this year than previous years. And more students applied and got into more schools this year. Does that mean more people will actually get off the wait lists this year. And if you only got wait listed should you mention that, in a positive way in your letter of continued interest.</p>
