International student waitlisted

Hello! I’ve been waitlisted for the Class of 2023 at Reed College. Reed is my dream school and I really wanna get in. Could you suggest what I do to increase my chance of being accepted off the waitlist? What should I emphasize on the Why Reed Essay? Should I submit an additional letter of recommendation; the teacher I’m considering would provide a different perspective but I don’t think it would add much to my previous 2 recommendations. Also, they want an analytical Essay, any suggestions for topics would be welcome. I’d really appreciate input from international applicants who got in after being waitlisted.

Thanks and wish me luck!

They want an analytical essay that highlights your academic writing skill. I’m confused about what I should submit. Should i write about my opinions on a book or a relevant issue or what?

Yes, any of those would be fine. What they don’t want is a “creative” essay - a work of fiction etc
