Hi everybody. I applied Tech as computer science major and got waitlisted. I’m an Asian international student study in US. Tech is my first choice right now and I feel really lucky that I did not get plain rejection because this year’s competition is crazy. So I bet this year a lot of kids will get off from waitlist and i want to be one of them. Is there are anyway I can contact with Tech to update my new info and express my interest?
Thanks!
@mainer199, What makes you think that this year lot of kids will get off from the waitlist ?
According to GTech’s college data, 470 people were admitted from around 4000 people who accepted the waitlist spot. I would expect the acceptance rate from the waitlist to be around 10%. However, given that so many people got accepted this year, the waitlist admission could be anywhere from 0% to 12%.
I do not recommend sending them more information because they explicitly say not to send them extra info.

If you really want to send them more information, I think sending an email to your regional admission counselor is the safest bet.
