Honest question. If a school wants a class size of 300, but sends acceptances to a 1000, how can it possibly hope to be within even a hundred students of their desired amount?

They base their expected yield on their yield from the year before. And they waitlist people so they have people to fill the spots in case they underestimate.

And also offer people scholarships not to come.

Rolling admissions and the waitlist allow for getting close to their target.
