<p>Hi folks,
I’ve been waitlisted by Bates College. What can I do in order to get off the waiting list and receive an offer for admission. Any suggestions are welcome… :)</p>
<p>ask your dad to give the school a million buck and have them named a science building after you. i'm sure you're in.</p>
<p>btw
when were the waitlist decisions sent last year ?</p>
<p>i'm not really sure what you can do....but did you interview? If not, look into it. Also, perhaps try sending in another essay about why you deserve to get off the wait list (why you love bates, what you will bring to the community, etc). Best of luck and hope to see you next fall :)</p>
<p>I was defered at Bowdoin, but did not get in. However, I drove all the way up to Maine, spent the night in a dorm, met some ad com members, met some great professors, and talked with my original interviewer. that may help ! :) try to get them to know you better.</p>
<p>i must add that I recieved that tip from someone who did that years ago, and was accepted into the school. I dont know if grades are important this time around, but do the best you can do. I feel like they defered me because they wanted to see better grades</p>
