so i know what the terms mean, but the numbers are what confuse me. For example, say some school has these stats:
accepted: 200
matriculated: 100
Obviously, the class size is 100 so all seats were filled. And schools will accept more than the class size because not everybody will choose to matriculate. But how do they know how many people to accept? Say one year everybody who was accepted wanted to matriculate... 200 students is too much for the class of 100, what do they do?
OR, is waitlisted included in "accepted" because then I could see how you accept some and if those deny then you can start picking off the waitlist.
