International, waitlisted at ALL my colleges!

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>The title describes my current status [CALAMAITY]! I am also asking for aid. </p>

<p>Now my question is this: What can I do to improve my chances? I have already sent in emails to every one of those colleges, re-stating my desire to attend. But, international calls are really expensive and I cant call them weekly/daily [as I have seen many CCers say should be done]. Besides, I dont want to come across as an Adcomm Stalker!</p>

<p>PLease! Help!</p>

<p>[Also, I'm not being foolishly optimistic about the waitlists, though. I'm looking into undergraduate options in my country as well]</p>

<p>Absolutely find an option in your Country. Waitlisted international needing aid? That will be very, very tough at most schools.</p>

<p>Yes, I am fully aware of that. Still, acceptance is hard :(</p>

<p>Since you have already sent emails with your enthusiasm for the school, the only other thing you can do is update them if you receive a prestigious award. Other than that, it is time to turn to the great possibility you will attend college in your home country. Focus on graduate admissions, perhaps?</p>

<p>Many wait-lists are “need aware”. I doubt you’ll come off a wait-list if you have big need.</p>

<p>How much can your family pay each year?</p>
