I was waitlisted for Cal. When I applied, I applied asking for a partial need-based scholarship, but I was waitlisted. Cal is one of the universities that I’ve dreamt of going for a long time, and my best waitlist choice at the moment. Hence, I was wondering how I could inform Cal that I want to decline my request scholarship/aid? Would this action give me a better chance of being admitted off the waitlist (I will be paying full fees)?
