<p>I was wait listed at my three top choice schools, Deerfield, Hotchkiss, and Groton, and I was wondering if there's anything I could/should do. I've heard that you can send stuff like grades and what you've been doing lately as far as ECs, but I wanted to know what you guys think.</p>
<p>If you have any relations to the school (like if you know a teacher, or a parent, student, alumni, etc.) it could help if you sent them an email or something. However, I don’t really have much experience about this, so I’m not 100% sure that will work.</p>
<p>I think it would be a good idea to call up the school immeadiately, thank them for their time and effort throughout the admissons process, and let them know that you are still very interested in attending their school, as it is among your favorite schools that you applied to. I have never applied to a boarding school, but I am pretty sure that most schools just want qualified students who are excited about the school and what they are learning. Try to show that. Also, I wouldn’t be too pushy about providing them with information about everything you are doing - they probably are very busy - so instead of just sending a bunch of stuff in, call them up and ask, very politely, firmly, and interestedly (if that’s a word), whether you may send in some more current additional information to aid them in their descision whether or not to take you off the waiting list. Again, I have never gone through the process so cannot vouch for the reliability of my answer. But, if it were me, this is what I would do. Good luck!!</p>
