<p>S2 rejected, after deferral SCEA. He’s bummed as Yale is his #1 dream school. Then waitlisted at Harvard. Moderating the dejection is a letter from USC today awarding full-tuition Trustee Scholy, and tea with his school principal celebrating his official status as class valedictorian. He’s also admitted to Pomona, UCLA, UCB, Holy Cross, and Santa Clara ( with full-tuition Presidential Scholy). Now awaiting notice from Stanford and all will then become clear. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>I’m so mad about my deferral > rejection. It’s garbage. I’m sure I’m getting rejected Harvard too. This sucks.</p>
<p>lol got rejected
but I don’t even care because I got into University of Pennsylvania!</p>
<p>Well I know I had a 2% chance even going in so before even checking I’m going with denied. It’s all good, I have other choices. Now it’s time to look. Good luck to all!!</p>
<p>sucks knowing i worked on those essays for 6 whole months for no reason.</p>
<p>Any idea how many people get in off the waitlist?</p>
<p>Rejected…oh well. The only thing I’m upset about is spending $90 on that app fee. Such a bummer right there!</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! Such an amazing achievement.</p>
<p>Rejected!! Lol</p>

<p>The CDS gives the number selected off the WL each year:</p>
<p>[Common</a> Data Set (CDS) | Office of Institutional Research](<a href=“http://oir.yale.edu/common-data-set]Common”>Common Data Set | Office of Institutional Research)</p>
<p>I really wish I hadn’t applied early.</p>
<p>@lolToasty: Why?</p>
<p>
Usually around 95-105 from around 1,000 or so waitlisted. Last year I believe there was 996 waitlisted and this year they stated 1,001.</p>
<p>You can’t assume 90-100 will get off the WL this year. Even Yale can only guess their yield. It could be 90-100, or it could be more, it could be less, it could be zero. That’s not an uncommon occurrence to be frank.</p>
<p>^Right and the data is in the CDS for anyone to see.</p>
<p>
If Yale was your favorite school it was still your best chance. The EA acceptance was 15.68% as opposed to 4.8% in RD.</p>
<p>Those who have left the idea behind are super lucky. It is an illusion.</p>
<p>
True, but only twice in the last 10 years has there been zero accepted off the wait list. I’m trying to give them hope. ;)</p>
<p>Being waitlisted sucks. I’m thinking it’s even worse than being rejected because the next few weeks are going to be torture.</p>
<p>Last year 95 additional students were accepted after being waitlisted. Extremely variable.</p>
<p>
Actually it was 104 last year and 98 the year before. Here are the numbers from 2003 on:</p>
<p>2011 104
2010 98
2009 7
2008 59
2007 50
2006 56
2005 0
