<p>What kinds of things should I do to show William and Mary that I would DEFINITELY attend if taken off the waitlist? I've thought about writing a letter or calling admissions, but I can't decide which would be more effective.</p>
<p>William and Mary is my first choice by far and I am open to any and all advice concerning what I should do to gain admission. Does anyone have any ideas?</p>
<p>ya me too! and is being on the waitlist a binding decision...the letter i got wasn't really clear...</p>
<p>At most schools, waitlist is non binding. If they have an open, you are offered a spot. Have relative short period of time to confirm or reject. (3 days or so) Not certain W&M specifics but should be similar. Good luck! Daughter hasn't decided W&M or UVA.</p>
<p>UVA! haha just kidding...i hope she chooses what's best for her!</p>
<p>The best thing to do is call the admissions office and send them a letter reaffirming your interest. Then pray.</p>
<p>Send a letter and / or call. Let them know that you will attend. If you've done anything else of note, send it with your letter.</p>
<p>Being on the waitlist is not binding, as momray said.</p>
<p>If you're a strong candidate, your chances are good that you'll get accepted. It's important to remember that not everyone who's been initially accepted will attend the college - and admissions is well aware of that fact. Be sure to demonstarte your continued interest in the school and why you wish to be a part of the next freshman class. Soccerguy gave great advice! Good luck!</p>
