Yes I understand that, but I guess I am trying to get confirmation on the following. From what I have heard is that once the class is full, everyone who gets an interview and "gets in" so to say is placed on the hold list. Then, at some point, around April, the admc goes in the class list and checks how many available spots they have and they go back to the HL to pull people from it.. and the HL is presumingly ranked as well... So in a way, when one is interviewing between now and let's say March/April, they are in fact, interviewing for the HL because at that point the admc hasn't gone back to see how many students have dropped the acceptance and how many seats are available.
Am I getting this right?
