I agree with scenario 2 more but I surely hope that is not the case. However, if I remember correctly, UT's yield has not been very high in the past a few years. I can't think of any reason why this year would be different.

Who knows but I think your 2nd scenario is more plausible. Don't see the logic in them starting to ding those waitlisted if they were in a position where yield was low and they were worried about trying to fill up the class.. would make more sense to me to keep as many people on the back-burner as possible in case people offered from admission from WL do not accept and then on to the next one etc. until they fill up the class
I DO find it strange that they have already dinged people off WL in R1/R2 but have continued to offer WL spots to R3 candidates.
My situation: (R1 Waitlist w/ Interview) who sent letter of intent, additional letters, professional updates etc and kept in steady contact with the adcom and met many students and ambassadors throughout admissions process. Although my GMAT was on lower end of tier, i would assume that someone like me who at least showed heavy interest would not have been the first to get denied (which i did May 4th) compared to other WL applicants who may have had no contact with Adcom whatsover since being Waitlisted.
I've come to peace with things, but pretty disappointed how McCombs gave a cold denial after waiting for 5+ months with absolutely no personal reach-out or contact.
