As many of us have just received news of being waitlisted, I figured I would make a thread where we can comment on updates. Perhaps we can format it similarly to the appointment thread (Or maybe not??--moderators feel free to object):
1. SAF forum name / Self, DD, DS / Accepted, Declined (waitlist offer) / still waiting, offered appointment on ##/##/####.
If this makes sense, I'll start it off:
1. MuniMan24 / Self /Accepted / still waiting
I also did a few searches for info on past waitlists and found some interesting posts by Objee. Hopefully they are informative.

There are approximately 150 applicants currently on the wait list. Unfortunately, there is no way to know how many appointments we will be able to offer to wait list applicants this year because that number is determined by: 1) How many appointments are offered during Regular Admission...those reviews are still in progress; and 2) How many applicants offered appointments during Early Action/Regular Admission decline their spot in the class...they have until May 1st to make that decision. As far as I know, we have always been able to tender at least some appointments to applicants on the wait list; however, it's impossible to know how many until early May.
The slightly larger wait list this year is primarily based on a slightly larger incoming class. There were approximately 125 applicants offered a spot on the wait list for the Class of 2017...incoming class size of 235. There are approximately 150 applicants on the wait list for the Class of 2018...incoming class size of 250.
Class of 2014 - Approximately 640 Alternates, 64 Appointments (Wait List did not exist)
Class of 2015 - Approximately 480 Alternates, 54 Appointments (Wait List did not exist)
Class of 2016 - Approximately 100 Wait List, 26 Appointments
Class of 2017 - Approximately 125 Wait List, 43 Appointments
Class of 2018 - Approximately 150 Wait List, XX Appointments
If you believe that you can "deduce" from this data how many appointments will be offered to applicants on the wait list this year, you're welcome to do so; however, I say again it's going to depend upon: 1) How many appointments are tendered during Regular Admission; and 2) How many applicants offered appointments during Early Action/Regular Admission decline their spot in the class.
