The AO said that once you’re waitlisted you’re placed into a pool of people considered to be of equal caliber to you. Writing to them definitely helps but in most cases of people I’ve seen get accepted they write a letter. Also I assume they still look at your stats

I saw on youtube where like people are emailing their local school representatives. Is that really a good idea or will that make them annoyed.

It’s sort of like tampering. But I saw like 2 applicants who actually got in on Youtube after they did that. But then again causation does not equal correlation.

I dont think they’ll reject anyone who emails their admissions counselor solely emailing them lol

I heard the rep is the first one to read your essay and are the ones who know you best. They are the ones who vouch for you. But then again its really unfair to favor someone because they emailed.

lol i heard they dont care and it does not guarantee or even influence towards a positive outcome, instead it can agitate them and hence, result in a negative outcome. So it is safer not to do anything they do not suggest
