Does Cornell reject off the waitlist, or will waitlisted folks just not hear back if they do not receive an offer?

@yathatyeet did you just get Rd off the waitlist? I saw it on the recent decisions
@Vikingr - sorry, but we already rented it out. I am sure you will find something that works well for you.

Has anyone on the waitlist heard anything?
Hoping for the A soon

15:03
Did anyone get an interview invite today off the waitlist?
16:18
