There are many very good students put on WL.  If a school needs to open WL, they could talk to the student and make sure he/she will be coming before they give the offer.  So, the yield of those getting off WL is nearly 100%.  
Also, a lot of parents here still have the old mind set.  As if an WL offer were a favor from school therefore would not negotiate on the FA.    
waiting list is to control yield
