Hm, I wasn't trying to say anything about spots open, just that the 50% yield figure doesn't make sense to me because there could theoretically have been 200 people WL R1, 50 who were accepted, 150 who were just dinged with R2 decisions, which means that the yield is actually 25%.
Also, I'd speculate that there is a huge difference in yields off a R1 WL (which I see is kind of like a deferral until they can see most of their applicants) and a R2 WL (which I imagine to be a kiss of death since they've admitted most of their class already)
I'm on the R2 WL too so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you're right and they take 50 of us out of the 100 on the WL, but a 50% yield off the HBS waitlist (R1 or R2) just doesn't pass the smell-test to me (except maybe in an upwards inflection year for the economy)

Nice work jl12, I just want to add this. You are taking into account seats.
1) So if 355 of the R2 admits accept, then you're golden. It could be more or less depending on the R2 yield.
2) If the above yield is correct, the target will be 90 like you mentioned, and since the yield is not 100% they'll probably admit more, I want to say 100.
Also, the 2+2 assumption is good.. it's on the 2+2 FAQ that the target is 100-125.
This is the first 2+2 class and that could be the explanation for lower WL numbers, or they decided they want to torture fewer people (Thank god for the GMAT fewer/less lesson!!

True jumbalaya, I was considering only the people who are still on the WL like us.
