<p>In my wait list mail from Peddie, they says that:"Peddie does not rank its Wait List and will reevaluate each candidate as Peddie determines its student body composition."</p>
<p>Is that true ?</p>
<p>I have just asked my robotics teacher to write a recommendation letter, my robotics captain (soccer teammate also) to write a peer recommendation too. Are those helpful ? What else should I send ? Is getting on high honor roll helpful ?</p>
<p>Please look at this positively: Do you have viable acceptances ? If so, you may want to concentrate on your future elsewhere because my understanding is that you may need a 9th grade male boarder (if that is what you are) and soccer player to give up a spot in order to keep the same distribution overall.</p>
<p>I don't have any acceptance ? Just only waitlisted at Peddie.</p>
<p>Actually, I got accepted one of the best private schools in the city. </p>
<p>Are my additional material enough ?</p>
<p>Not sure other than let them know of your continuing interest. Congratulations on your private school acceptance in the city! Your parents may be very happy to have you living at home for now,,,</p>
<p>Actually, my family is still back in my country so no matter where do I go, I will still be away from the family.</p>
<p>Do you think my additional recommendations will help ?</p>
<p>My son is waitlisted at andover and accepted by other schools.<br>
In the letter from andover, it said "The admission office asks that you send a final transcript at the end of the school year to keep your file up to date. Additionally, it is alwasy helpful to receive new information from waiting list candidates about honors, awards, or other new and interesting experiences.".
So, we will send letters to let them know my son just made into high school varsity golf team (the only freshman make it) and all-state orchestra. He also got all A at all honors.
I think it's good idea to update your information.</p>
<p>DON'T GIVE UP!</p>
<p>** PS: have you think about rolling admission to Blair ?</p>
<p>Is there such thing like that at Blair ? I have never known that. Is your son admitted to Peddie ?</p>
<p>Will my Robotics coach and Robotics captain recommendation letters help me ? How about my high honor roll ? Does it count ?</p>
<p>Do you think there is still chance to get in with FA ?</p>
<p>I cannot apply to Blair since they don't offer FA for International students/</p>
<p>nns91, from what I have read on how to handle a waitlist situation is to write a letter to the Admissions Office and restate your reasons for wanting to attend the school, mention any recent accomplishments or pertinent new information about which the school may not be aware and emphasize that you will attend if offered admission from the waiting list.</p>
<p>I've read it is better to write a letter, rather than call and lobby on your own behalf. Also, while still staying on the waitlist(s), look at the other choices available to you and plan out other options.</p>
<p>that's what they told me, when we called a school about the waitlist</p>
<p>Can I email them ?</p>
<p>if you didn't already call, i would. if uv already called, i think an email would be appropriate.</p>
<p>What should I call for ?</p>
<p>just say "i love your school an dwas wondering if there was any other other information u needed for my file? perhaps additional recomandations? Oh btw, is this true... im still really interested in school ur school an dwill hopefully become part of the --- class."</p>
<p>ok. Thanks for your information.</p>
<p>I was asking my Robotics coach and captain to write me 2 recommendations. Are those good enough ?</p>
<p>i think those would help, and if u have any additional teachers.</p>
<p>Is it ok if that teacher already wrote me a recommendation letter ?</p>
<p>I believe it is ok. Just do it -- don't wait.</p>
<p>I think I'm gonna sound kind of dumb saying this... but nns are you just asking your teacher to write a letter? Or is there a form you are going to give him to fill out? Because the recs I had to send in January came in forms, you're not just going to give him another form, right? What are you going to ask him to do?</p>
<p>I asked him to write my a recommendation letter, not like filling a form. It's just like a letter.</p>
<p>Are you going to do the same ?</p>
<p>Should I send out the information as soon as possible ?</p>
<p>My 3rd quarter is about to end soon. Should I wait until the end of the quarter to send out my update score ?</p>
