<p>Waitlistee here. I'm waitlisted by my dream school, so I'm asking for your advice-- those who managed to get off waitlist of their selective dream school. How did you do it? And what advice would you give?</p>
<p>Have you tried sending an e-mail to the admissions committee to re-express your interest? In the e-mail, try to emphasize that if you’re admitted, then you will definitely attend. Also, try to send them your updated grades, and work hard the remainder of your senior year to show them you’re definitely a student of their caliber. Don’t lose heart; The school is interested in you, and it definitely likes students on waitlists. </p>
<p>My friend got into Harvard off the waitlist this way. Good luck!</p>
<p>but many people will be doing the same thing. how do you stand out from the waitlist pack?</p>
