waitlisting
Holding for availability
Waitlisting is the practice of placing someone on a waiting list rather than granting immediate admission or acceptance.
Universities waitlist applicants they might admit if space opens up.
Restaurants waitlist parties when tables are full.
After waitlisting hundreds of students, the college admitted thirty from the list in June.
