<p>I was waitlisted and have been doing everything I can to get off the waitlist.
I have mailed in a personal letter stating my interest in Whitman and what I think I could contribute as a student there, along with an additonal sample of my writing. I have also sent in my senior year grades (all A's in 2 AP classes, 1 honors, and 1 college course), and an additional teacher rec.
Does anyone have any additional advice for what I could do?
Do I have a chance of getting off the waitlist?
Also, if I am moved off the waitlist, when will I be notified?</p>
<p>Hi, worldforgetting. I’d say you certainly have a chance at getting off the waitlist-- Whitman accepts applicants who choose not to attend because of its location, size, etc. I’d be careful with the additional information, as I imagine too much could be very annoying to admissions officers. You’ve done what you can, so wait, consider offers from other schools, and hope for the best.</p>
<p>My brother was waitlisted at UW (University of Washington), which receives a ton of applicants. He was accepted two months later without doing anything extra.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
