Well, the way that Cornell usually does it usually works. As in, they don't go through the entire waitlist and everything is fine. It was just that one year (for the c/o 2012 I believe) that they had an unusually high number of folks decline their seats for one reason or another, and so they went through the entire waitlist and still didn't have a full class.

So, it was just one of those weird things. Kinda like Kansas last year - they had the opposite problem and overfilled the class as a result, and the waitlist barely moved (if at all).

I think that is happening with CSU this year, because I was straight rejected and this morning got an offer of admission...

And it happens at every school, at some point. Tennessee over accepted for 2012 and they kept all the students once offered admission. I have heard that in other years, they pulled people that had initially been rejected. So it depends on the school and the year and the applicant pool.

Maybe they should just have a draft pick or something🙄

Wow, that's a first. Maybe that high tuition is scaring off more people than usual?
