I believe 20 people got waitlisted in our year. They went through the whole list plus an additional two people. The previous year only went through about 10 people on their list.
..class (2016) received news on Quest early afternoon on Thursday, March 8th (2012). Only accepted people found out at this point. The next morning (Friday, March 9th 2012), the official e-mails were sent out and people who were wait-listed were notified and were given their position on the wait-list.

They said we would learn about the decision in early march and the mails would arrive in late march
