Haha I agree! Here's the thread I was referring to. Are you subscribed to this thread? You're awfully quick with the reponses

Are we not all? Why do you think I'm up at 2AM in the morning? Hoping for some movement on this thread
Joking aside though. Skimmed through the thread and looked at what Peerless said. Looks about right... April 17th was the second deposit for that year (this year it was April 16th if I recall correctly)
He said that they accepted all 64 deposits for their seats, and what that means to me is that they filled up all of their seats (64) and everyone has put down a deposit for those seats. As one person drops out, they will pick one from the alternate. I believe this year they have 79 seats (there was some discussion about this in earlier posts on this thread)
In 2009, they had 80 alternate applicants. So, what this means is without me rambling anymore...It would appear they are following the same trend. So all of their seats are full now (let's say, 79) and as one drops out, they will pick one off the alternate. Since they have a larger class size, I would imagine the alternate spot to be larger as well (guessing maybe 100 students?)
Peerless doesn't seem to mention anything about where he got the "pull names out of the lottery" from though. He just mentioned he went on a tour but doesn't tell us if it was a counselor, a dean, a current student, etc. I'm not saying that it can't happen, it may very well be, just that as you have said, take it with a grain of salt.
Edit: An interesting thing that I noticed that is sorta related is that Peerless appeared to have been accepted by Western for the 2009 cycle from off the waitlist. However, he still re-applied for the 2010 cycle and Western was one of the schools he applied to again... He was accepted to 2 other schools this time, but not Western. Wonder what's going on there. Really makes me question the legitimacy of what he is saying though. However, without background story I can't say that he is lying either. So we'll see.
