Remaining on Wait Lists/Alternate Lists

Hello all,

Just a quick question I couldn't find anything about via google search. Are there any pros to staying on a schools' wait list/alternate list after you have been accepted to the school you'd like to attend? I've heard rumor of some in the MD realm, but not the DO realm.

Thanks!

I can't imagine that there are any... think it's ethically the right thing to do to withdraw so people waiting to get off that list are n-1 more likely to be chosen from the waitlist

I'm thinking the same thing, I just wanted to make 100% sure before I pull the plug on my other apps.

I mean, stay if you'd attend that school, withdraw if you wouldn't, yeah?
