@InstinctiveMongoose: just sent a LOCI, did they mention when they consider wait-lists?
@AquaticClassyLettuce: When i went to the preview day they said it varies year to year, but they try not to accept anyone off waitlist too late into the summer. They did say some years they accept alot and others not so much, but i would encourage you to make a visit and talk with admissions people i think that is what helped me alot. they were extremely nice and helpful.
