Most people who get waitlisted get in to schools most of the time,[/quote]
I’m curious where you’re getting that information.
This website has stats that disagree. I don’t know if those are accurate, and I’m looking for accurate stats on the matter. [/quote]
The dirty little secret lies in your question – the stats. Remember how schools will tell you its the grades, scores, extracurriculars, etc that tip the scale? Well, they also require demographic data. Why?
Answer: The schools tout X% of disavantaged, X% minority admitted, etc. in the stats for incoming freshman. Because they want to appear as so diverse, politically correct, they are admitting students that meet the demo they are looking to fill yet the applicant pool many don’t have the chops for the work and many wash out in the first semester and they fill those spots with waitlisted.
Stats look good for the public and disgruntled applicants have already gone elsewhere.
Interesting they don’t profile the graduating class demos, huh.
Not trying to stir the pot with ya zk as this might get ya hot, its just a little inside baseball.
