https://poetsandquants.com/2015/04/01/hb ... wait-list/If you look there, last year there were about ~100 on the WL after R1 and R2 decisions were announced. This 100 excludes R1 WL candidates that were accepted and rejected before the R2 decisions came out. I would expect about a 40/60 split between R1 and R2 candidates on the WL after R2 decisions.
With that, I would think that for us, there is currently "25 accepted"+"40 continuing on the WL"+"# Rejected" on the WL now. So I think the total R1 WL is around ~120 depending on what that last number is.
Could totally be talking out of my ass though.
