Does anyone know of any decent statistics about students getting accepted off of the waitlist at schools? I know it varies greatly from school to school and year to year, but I'd like to know if my chances are closer to 1% or 50%.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The MSAR offered schools the opportunity to describe waitlist movement in for the first time in the current edition.
As you said, results are variable and not consistently reported.

I use the USNWR numbers for interviewed/accepted/matriculated to try and get a read; if a school admits like 70% of interviewees then I assume the waitlist has to be moving especially if far fewer matriculate. I think it is safe to assume that admitting three people per seat right off the bat would be a bit daring given how particular school's are with class size. Of course, using "assume" every sentence means exactly what it looks like. My .02.
