Wait listed - what to do from here

<p>I got wait-listed at Wellesley which was a little disappointing, and although I got into Northwestern University which I will probably send in my deposit to, I want to do a final push just in case I hate it when I visit. I think a factor in the wait-list was my supposed lack of interest because i didn't interview, etc.</p>

<p>I was thinking of sending in a letter along with some other materials. Is there a certain person I send my materials to? Who exactly is the regional person that I need to contact (alumni)? How do I find that information? (I live in Oregon) Will that help my chances of getting off the waitlist? </p>

<p>Thanks for any help :) I am pretty confused about what I'm supposed to do.</p>

<p>You should send your information to the admissions office (Office of Admissions, 106 Central Street, Wellesley, MA 02481). </p>

<p>You can call the admissions office to find out the contact information for your regional application person. </p>

<p>Sending in more materials about yourself can’t really hurt. I wouldn’t send an encyclopedia, but some key updates (awards, updated scores, other cool things that weren’t available at the time of application deadlines) could be helpful.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks sooo much for your help :slight_smile: I really loved Wellesley when i went to visit - the Boston area was beautiful, the people were so diverse, the programs were so interesting.
I am trying not to get my hopes TOO up because i know that the rate of acceptance from the waitlist is very small but I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed. Thanks again!</p>

<p>Good luck to you, misty! (: I was also wait-listed and I’m sending some stuff to the admissions office today!
So best of luck to the both of us, I guess!</p>
