Hey so I've been thinking about how the OU acceptances work and I got a bit confused so if someone can explain it I'd appreciate that! I don't get how the holding multiple acceptances thing works...so basically lets say they offer multiple people an acceptance at both tracks, isn't there a chance they get too many people saying yes to one track over the other? Or do they limit that number, leaving a possibility for empty spots after everyone chooses?
For example, let's say they have 10 spots open at OKC and 3 at SCM. Would they offer 13 people an acceptance at both tracks leaving open the possibility that all 13 pick OKC ("overbooking" OKC) or do they give 10 people the option of both (underaccepting), then leaving 3 acceptances for the next people, who would come off a waitlist. Because the way I understood it is that some people hold a spot at both tracks until they chose one, usually after that 4/30 deadline, so the school doesn't have a final idea of who's going where really till then, and if the school does the underaccepting thing it means they don't really have a full class yet, right? Sorry for the complicated post, I was just overthinking this and thought someone here might know more about it!
