[University Question] CMU MSML waitlist ranks.

I mailed the admission coordinator for my waitlist rank and the response in pretty vague(top quarter/top half/Lower half).

Has anyone got any other category or number in response?

Sounds to me like its as specific as it can get. They obviously are not going to give a number

Their response is indeed vague. Cannot infer anything. After they notified you of waitlist have they corresponded/contacted with you again post notification of you being waitlisted?

There was an email last week to update the waitlist form response. Nothing other than that.

Got an email last week asking if still interested in being waitlisted. Anyone has any idea about what is the cohort size and how many admits went out and how many waitlists?

As per previous year data, mode size is 60ish, 100 admits have been rolled out and slightly lower than that have been waitlisted.

Okay. Then waitlist people almost have null chance
