<p>I was recently placed on the waitlist for Duke University. It is my top choice school but since I live in CT, it's a little far so I did not visit the school in person during the application process.
But I really love the school so I've brought plane tickets to visit Duke in 2 weeks. Would this increase my chances of getting off the waitlist?
I am also writing a letter to the admissions office to convey my interest in Duke, I'm mailing it out tommorow, should I include the information that I'll be visiting Duke?
thanks</p>
