State: FL
School Type: Public (~2,100 students, I think)
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Gender: Male</p>
<p>Edit to my post: My GPA of 3.6 is unweighted, as my school does not weight. Also, my class rank is estimated, as my school does not rank. I know I am in the third decile, that's it.</p>
<p>Good job to all those accepted...and to those waitlisted, don't lose all hope just yet. I was waitlisted...sent a very nice, detailed letter explaining how I had built upon my previous successes/hook, and was accepted a few days later. There is hope.</p>
<p>waitlisted as well. rakem did u visit the school after u were waitlisted to speak to someone in admissions?</p>
<p>Nope. I only visited after I had been accepted off of the waitlist.</p>
<p>I stayed on the waitlist right into May...a few days after that good ol' May 1st deadline they sent out a second round of mailings asking if we'd like to remain on the waitlist; I said yes and made my move then.</p>
<p>It might be a better idea to make a move now though.</p>
<p>If W&L is your first choice school, send them a letter talking about how you really want to go and will go if accepted and listing any major accomplishments (don't make it a laundry list though) since you sent in your app.</p>
<p>thanks for the suggestions! I'm probably going to wait until the end of the week and see what else comes in but most likely I'm going to pursue the waitlist bc it is one of my top choices.</p>
