Will I get rescinded from Harvard?

I go to an ultracompetitive hs and some ppl have this ss of me making a sarcastic s**ual joke (in private msgs) abt a teacher and my friend (who the msg was directed to). The joke is somewhat explicit but it's also wordplay connected to something not explicit which was the real intention. However, it does involve a teacher so idk how that works.

Legally speaking I highly, highly doubt this is s**ual harrassment but admissions offices aren't exactly courts of law. I'd just like an honest opinion. Chances are no one is going to report me anyways, but I'm anxious wondering what would happen if, in theory, someone did.

Can someone give me their honest thoughts? Maybe the answer is obvious to some of you but it isn't to me, so could someone also explain why or why not this could get me rescinded. I don't understand what behavior is enough for someone to get rescinded tbh.

How many people admitted from MIT's wait list?

For this year. I couldn't find the number online but I'm curious what it is. Did the alumni interviewers receive this number in the email they got after the wait list closed?

So I recently learned that many schools waitlist students who aren't viable for admission but have connections to the school (e.g. parent went there, child of prof, etc.), as a courtesy to the mutual. Do you guys think MIT does something like this? My parent went to MIT so it would be pretty funny if that's why I got a waitlist instead of the rejection I expected lol.
