Actually, this is REALLY interesting and I think it works in Ross' favor.
Scenario 1:
Accept ~40% in R1 (waitlist 10%).
Accept ~40% in R2 (waitlist 10%).
Accept ~20% in R3 (waitlist 20%).
Scenario 2:
Accept ~30% in R1 (waitlist 20%).
Accept ~50% in R2 (draw from the top of R2 and waitlist).
Accept ~20% in R3 (draw from the top of R3 and waitlist).
The benefit is that you get a better look at the total applicant pool.
You may very well be right. But I don't think they needed 3 additional weeks to do that. Last year, they waitlisted people with and without interviews. This year - well, it's still the same. One of the reasons given for the not interviewing everyone on WL last year was that they did not have enough time.

The other MAJOR benefit is that people who are still actively on the waitlist by the time R2 decisions are released are probably VERY likely to accept at Ross (otherwise they would have accepted somewhere else by then). The result is a very high yield.
Of course it's a double-edged sword. A lot of people may bail on Ross if they don't hear until March or so (R2 decision date).

Unfortunately, many applicants don't think the same way. I knew at least 3 applicants from last year who had paid deposits at other schools but were still on the Ross WL until August. If you have already spent $200 on the application, why not wait and see what happens?

It will be VERY interesting to see how many people get off the waitlist compared to years past.
I agree. If what they say is true, Ross will release WL decisions along with R2 just as Duke, Chicago and several other schools do. - SV (a veteran WLer)
p.s. I might be wrong but interestingly all the Indian applicants on gmatclub were either WLed or dinged.

I agree. It's no different than looking for a job. Even if you've accepted a position at company A, why not wait and see if company B makes an offer?
