<p>I got wait-listed at Harvard and admitted to Princeton and 4 other Ivey League colleges. </p>
<p>I intend to be on the wait-list obviously because Harvard remains my No. 1. Should I tell Harvard about my admission to Princeton to increase my chance? Or would it be unwise to do so? Thanks. </p>
<p>Do you go to the kind of school where the GC might pick up the phone for you?</p>
<p>Why would telling Harvard that Princeton admitted you increase your chances of getting admitted to Harvard off of the wait list? Why would Harvard care?</p>
<p>Feels like a “jealousy” approach…?</p>
<p>I feel like schools, if they didn’t accept you the first time, are just going to be like, “Okay, cool, then go there”</p>
<p>There are plenty of cross-admits to the top schools, H is not going to be impressed/threatened/concerned.</p>
<p>Of course, my chance of getting into Harvard from the wait list is slim, but I just want to know if what would be the best approach. Should I just tell them only about my accomplishments since March 27th? </p>
<p>Thanks for all the replies. My guess was I’d better tell H only about my additional accomplishments. Your replies confirmed my initial guess was right.</p>
