I want to wish all the WL candidates the best........but at this point (this late in the game), I want to let you guys know that schools with YSOM's class size (Haas, Tuck, and other small programs, etc) accept very few people off the WL (if any). Spots open up due to unusual and unforeseen circumstances (international student getting visa denied, student withdrawing for personal reasons, etc etc)...
That's why you hear about horror stories, such as acceptance notice only few wks before orientation date, etc. Spots open up unexpectedly and if people (for one reason or another) requested to stay on the WL, that's when offers go out. (in general)
Thanks nink for your insights, it would be great if we can know when is the deadline for the R3 deposit as many of the R3 accepted students would wait till the deadline before making their final decision.
