Hey guys I made a thread where fellow waitlisters could chat!
It would be good if everyone could state which college they are waitlisted to.
McIntire here
Arts and Sciences !
I’m waitlisted at arts and sciences at UVA and UNC. Out of state student athlete at top New England college with 3.5 GPA, tons of leadership - captain of 3 sports, leadership scholarship, lots of great jobs/awards, strong resume. SATs lower side. Family attending or attended UVA but no parent. I did hear that UVA put more people on waitlist this year than previous years. Not sure if they will be good news for us or not.
I too was waitlisted at the college of arts and sciences. I go to another VA public school and have a 3.65-3.7. Writer for my school’s newspaper, cross country runner, 3.8 in my majors, and am participating in an internship at Capitol Hill this summer. One of my research papers got published a few weeks back and is going to be continued over the summer. I got into Washington & Lee, William and Mary and Virginia Tech’s honors college. UVA is my #1, so hopefully this works out.
I got waitlisted to the college of Arts and Sciences too!
I had a 4.0 first semester, on track for the same this semester, taking a summer course and I’ll be a legal assistant…I’ve had a ton of activities since high school…and yeah!
I got into unc but was waitlisted arts and sciences. I’m glad I have an option but I really loved uva. I guess we’ll see.
Waitlisted at UNC and UVA for the arts and science program (political science). Accepted to American and Tulane so far, so I really need to decide what I’m going to do.
@puhrmach AU is an amazing school! Not worth the cost, but definitely a school worth taking a second look at
I feel bad about my chances :/. I don’t think McIntire takes many people off the wait-list 
I’m going to do whatever it takes to get off of the wait list. I have no where to go next year. CC or UVA @-)
@hoospls what are you planning to do?
talking to the dean, letters of interest and a new letter of rec ect…
@canucksfangirl That’s great to know, to be honest I don’t know much about it. I’ll have to learn more!
Waitlisted as well for arts&sciences. I’m doing everything I can to get off the waitlist and get into my dream school. I think being instate and going to w&m will help me, but CC kids appearantly have the upper hand when it comes to getting off the waitlist. Also if we want to send more letters of Rec how do we do that? Hope we all good news in the following weeks!

Final transcript
Things that might be helpful:
Rec Letter
An essay illustrating why you’re eager to get in
Resume (highlighting the latest experience and awards you’ve got)
As of now, I can only come up with these things. Good luck you guys and sincerely wish that we’ll meet in UVa!
Remember they don’t order the wait list. When they have an open seat in a particular college or major or program, they look for someone on the wait list who applied to that major, etc. So your chances depend mostly on people who were admitted to your major deciding not to go there. Basically.
@puncherkid Didn’t we already submit similar essays for the common app? I feel like submitting another would just be redundant.
I was wait listed for arts and sciences as well… really pains me to see that most people here have been accepted to other good colleges but are staying on the wait list 
UVa is my only hope haha
@hlplsslyhopn Luckily I am pretty sure how they do it, is that you have 48 hours to accept admission and if you don’t, that spot goes to another person on the wait list.
