I just called admissions and spoke with the assistant director, so posting this on here in case anyone else might find this information useful.
He said the waitlist is more "plug and play" with admission and that they don't go in order through HPWL before getting to alternate. It just depends on who the committee wants to replace the open seat with so it could be from either list. (My guess is that they do have a preference for HPWL though because HP lol.) He also said there's movement happening between now and end of June, possibly even right up until July 21st which is when classes start.
The committee will try to adhere to your preference for PBL and SGL, but if a seat becomes available for either, they'll consider you. So you may not get what you want and will have to be flexible.
The open house was amazing, I really hope we hear back from them soon! The admissions rep said that we can hear from them as soon as today and as late as june! I’m SO NERVOUS!
I also can confirm that what strugglesreal said, as I had multiple admissions representatives tell me that it is not ranked and they review many applicants on the WL and HPWL for admission when they have their committee meetings. One had told me that they can choose individuals from the WL over HPWL depending on the applicant's profile, as the only difference between the two groupings is that the HPWL is a next cycle acceptance for sure.
The open house was also amazing and they'll keep having movement within their class as we can see above too since they have plenty of students choosing other schools prior to the start of their classes. I was told the most movement happens in May but anything can happen between literally now and the day they start classes, although they try to seat their class as soon as they can so we can participate in things like the pre-matriculation program or find housing in time to move and begin courses. Their class is definitely full, but as people drop for other schools the more we'll hear about WL movement!
