<p>So I'm on the waitlist for chapman.
What are the chances I get in?
And is there anyway i can send them an appeal letter? (I forgot to mention i had surgery and a tumor sophomore year which affected my grades) </p>
<p>bumpppp looking for an answer</p>
<p>Don’t use the surgery as an excuse. Just explain you’re still fully committed to being a Chapman student and submit any positive developments since you last applied. No one can say what your chances are - but often students who contact Admissions and add an item or two (but don’t flood them) may help their cause.</p>
<p>@ArtsandLetters thanks for the information! </p>
<p>oldschoolboy, it also may depend upon your hoped-for major. Some schools within Chapman are more impacted than others. You may have a better shot of getting off the wait list if you switch to another major.</p>
<p>@LongRangePlan My major is biology, should I switch?</p>
<p>That’s your call. I’m just saying, I know sometimes it’s easier to get in with some majors than with others.</p>
