Chances of getting accepted from the wait list to one of these schools: Harvard, Yale, or Dartmouth

<p>Hi there! </p>

<p>So I just found out that I have been wait-listed at Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth. Meanwhile, I have been admitted to Duke and UPenn; additionally I have a full scholarship to any public or private school in my state! So I'm clearly still incredibly blessed!</p>

<p>I just wanted to know two things:</p>

<p>One - what are my chances in getting off the waiting list and into one of those three schools? Likely, not so likely? Would it even be worth it to stay on the waiting list?</p>

<p>Two - what steps should I take to encourage them to reconsider my application? What kind, if any, supplementary material should I send in? Letter of intent, research paper from internships, extra recommendation letters, updated list of accomplishments, etc.</p>

<p>Any advice would be great(: </p>
