Is it too late?

<p>I've heard that it's a good idea to send a letter or e-mail to the admissions office if you want to notify the school about any updates you want to make to your file if you're waitlisted. Harvard happens to be one of the schools I'm waitlisted at (I still don't know how this happened! Haha...I was very shocked/flattered that I wasn't rejected), and it's basically the school I wish to attend the most. I know that it's very difficult to get in when you're waitlisted, but it can't hurt to send a letter on updates.</p>

<p>I was going to send mine earlier, but I unfortunately haven't got around to doing so. In addition, I've been notified about a few things that I'd like to update the schools I'm waitlisted at very recently which is another reason why I held off sending a letter until now. </p>

<p>I was wondering if it's too late to send one? And if it's not, would it be advisable to send a letter through snail mail or update the office through e-mail?</p>

<p>I hope someone can help me out. Hopefully, it's not too late or anything :) Thank you!</p>

<p>And if this post is badly written, I apologize...I'm a little scatterbrained right now due to an extreme lack of sleep for the past two weeks :(</p>

<p>^ Do what you think is best for YOU. Don’t worry about over doing it, I’m sure the admin office understands the psychology of being waitlisted … but don’t wait much longer, time is short …</p>

<p>BTW, there is a Harvard Waitlist waitling room thread, come join us. I’ll put your name on the list … :)</p>

<p>Hey plumazul, thank you so much for the reply! I’ll definitely check out that thread :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Ah, I just found out I won some sort of award for a language contest today so I guess I’ll add that onto my list of updates? Haha.</p>

<p>I still don’t know whether I should send a letter through snail mail or email. Email is quicker, but I feel like snail mail makes it seem more personal? :(?</p>

<p>You should probably still send it in. I figure they won’t start taking people off the waitlist until May 1st, so I doubt its a negative to send it in (as long as its mailed by tomorrow).</p>
