Wait listed at Exeter...now what?

Prep School Admissions
1

Hey guys,
I just got back from a long trip where I found out that I was wait listed at Phillips Exeter academy. I am applying as a male, boarding, junior, and there just aren’t that many spots for that position. This is my dream school, and i would do anything to go. I got accepted into another school already, however I don’t really love that school so much. Also, I got rejected from Andover, but that’s ok because I knew that I wasn’t going to get in. I am going to write a letter to the admissions team at Exeter, however I am kind of at a loss of what to say. So I have two questions:

  1. what should I say in my letter?
  2. is there anything that I can say or do that will increase my chances of acceptance?
    Thanks!
