The dreaded wait list

<p>I checked myUCF today and I found out that I've been wait listed. Although I much would have rather been flat out accepted, this presents an opportunity to prove, through a letter and a couple of phone calls, how profound my interest in UCF is.</p>

<p>My question comes back to what exactly is the best course of action to take. After doing some research, I've come up with the idea that writing a heartfelt letter is the best way to go, touching on achievements I've earned within the time since my application, and also a few things I left out of the application.</p>

<p>But I am also seeking some input from others who have been in my shoes and/or knows the best way to handle this situation.</p>

<p>They are starting to clear the waitlist. I was on the waitlist for 2 months and found out today that I have been accepted for Fall! I did nothing as far as contacting them after hearing that I had been waitlisted…</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.9w and ACT 25. Nothing special, but I have a few IB, AP and honors classes. My application status was updated first, then I got an email asking me to sign up for housing a couple of days later…still no official notification, but I’m in! Just keep checking your application status for an update and good luck!</p>
