<p>Got waitlisted at 4 schools any of which I would love to attend. Anyone got any advice to help me improve my chances of getting picked off the waitlist?</p>
<p>Go to the college’s forum on here and post scary stories about muggings, violent crime, obnoxious TAs, crappy dorms, insane restrictions (boys and girls aren’t allowed to hold hands without written permission from the Pope), and a night life that makes the Moon look like Greenwich Village. This is to discourage kids who were accepted from actually enrolling, helping you to move up the waitlist.</p>
<p>Send in any supplementary materials you can, including new SAT / ACT scores, your midyear and final report from high school, any videos, creative portfolios that might be optional, any new rec letters (the more unique the better), and attend an alumni interview if one is offered.</p>
