<p>I'm OOS, and I was waitlisted. What are my chances of getting off and how can I increase my chances/show interest? Also, do you guys think UNC will take a lot of kids off the waitlist this year? I looked at past years and it has been really unpredictable (~20% got off last year and ~40% got off 2 years ago IIRC). </p>
