In that case, I'm wondering why all wait listed applicants are still waiting. If most (if not all) seats are full, then we should see some rejects from the wait list too and even that's not happening. Also even if they received 2100 applicants, the only applications left to review are wait listed ones right ?
The only reason I can think of is they're waiting to see if anyone withdraws at the every end, and so we still have a diverse enough wait list pool to choose from. That means a very very long wait.
Btw, does anyone know how many applications are waitlisted? Around 5-10% of the total (2100 in this case)?
This is my understanding of the current situation as well anantharamv. Perhaps the people who have been accepted at Johnson are waitlisted at another school which is their top choice, and although they have paid the required deposit and all at Johnson, should their WL status change to an admit in their 1st choice school, they would leave an empty seat at Johnson and hence what you are saying about AdCom wishing to have a diverse pool of WL candidates to choose from makes complete sense.
The final week of June is upon us starting today. Fingers fully crossed we see some WL movement this week and have some positive news to share! Good luck to all!
