<p>My friend was deferred/waitlisted, but I was wondering whether he should try to appealing his decision (but are waitlists even considered final?). He's a strong applicant (3.7 UM GPA, 33 ACT, in-state, plenty of ECs), and I'm extremely surprised he was waitlisted in the first place. Is there any appeal deadline he missed (like the UCs have?)? And anyone think it's worth appealing? </p>
<p>Also, if there's anything he can do to increase his chances of getting in off the waitlist, say something? :)</p>
