How many people in the waitlist? chances.. would it help to write a letter?

<p>I honestly applied to CMC and did not expect to even be considered, however I opened my status to my surprise I was put on their alternate list.
They said chances vary each year but now that I know they are considering me I would like to know..
Does anyone know approximately how many people they put on their waitlist?
Second of all, my parents have been bugging me to write them a letter showing my seriousness and willingness to attend CMC, in the hope that they might consider me more..
can anyone help me?
does anyone know whether writing a letter would help..
I heard cmc values demonstrated interest so..
I am really hoping it would help..</p>

<p>Check out the other waitlist thread. You will find answers to most of your questions there. I agree with your parents, it can’t hurt to write a letter.</p>
