What is the order in which this occurs? Obv all schools are different, but what are some common systems out there? For example, are applicants on a ranked waitlist ranked during their initial committee meeting or later on? How does the adcom re-evaluate who to pull from the waitlist (considering the interview might have happened 8 months ago and the interviewers cant really speak much about the applicant)? Do certain groups tend to have higher chances of getting off the waitlist because schools use the waitlist to "round out the class" (This could be gender, residency/state, or URMs for example).
I heard that last year there was less WL movement than anticipated? Any thoughts on what might happen this year?
