Sophie said:Same here. I was on 4 waitlists (and 1 hold) up until last week and thought my odds were pretty good. Then I found out (through SDN) a few days ago that Columbia isn't accepting many people off of the waitlist this year. There goes one. USC is apparently (again info from SDN) decreasing their class size from 180 to 160. There goes another. I received a rejection letter from AECOM in the mail last night. There goes a third. BU was my last hope, and it looks like that one is all but gone now as well. 🙁
I find myself really hoping that SDN people have no idea what they're talking about.

Please don't get discouraged. I know for a fact that BU anticipates on taking people off the waitlist, particularly if they write LOI's, etc. You really have a shot. Just be patient - I think they make the majority of their decisions in June and July. Be persistent and call Dean Witzburg when he is back.
gh said:I talked to Dr Vaughan last week (one of the folks on adcom) and she mentioned that with the jump in ranking this year (or thats what they think), there's hardly been any movement in the waitlist (which is very UNtypical, by this time of the year). Yes, they did over accept this year and she says that although the waitlist may move, they don't really expect much movement this year.
RUN TARSIER!!! said:Just to clarify, straight from her mouth, Doc Vaughn herself said that they did over accept and that they don't expect that much movement?
gh said:yes. they might have a few movements but as of last week, she said that there are more people who are keeping their acceptances (than normally expected).
