Wait lists -- are they for real or just a nice way of rejecting applicants?

This is starting to feel like a fresh circle of Hell .... I realize that the answer to my question above may be it depends on the school and it depends on the year. If the school guesstimated its yield correctly, the chances that it needs to turn to its wait list is low. If it guessed wrong, it has more spots to fill and offers spots from the wait list. Is that about it? My daughter was admitted to a number of schools and has many choices. There is one place that waitlisted her, which if accepted, she would have mailed the check in within 5 minutes. So she will pick from the places she was admitted and wait and see what happens. Not the worst position to be in, I'm just ready for the whole college application process to be over and we get to move on to the next level: saving coupons for Bed, Bath and Beyond.
