Do waitlists because of these two elements happen often, or would the former get rejected and the latter accepted with open arms anyway?
Hi
redalertmba,
Yes, a school may waitlist applicants for both the reasons mentioned by you, among a host of various other reasons, which the school will most likely not specify

Thanks.
