NYer

I was waitlisted at a school about two weeks ago and am curious about timing. Presumably people were accepted two weeks ago when I was waitlisted. How long do those people have to accept? Is there a certain point where if people haven't declined or accepted they automatically move on to the waitlist? Is there a deadline to accept? Also, if I do get accepted how long would I have to accept? I know every school is different, but I'm curious if there are any general pointers.
