Waiting List

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>Is it appropriate to inform Stanford of other honor's/scholarships I have won to help them decide to get me off the friggin' waiting list? I was named a Cornell Tradition Fellow, given to 150/3000 students. Is it better to just list the importance of the award, rather than the specifics? Any other info, (besides awards, etc.)? I also wrote a comical poem. If anyone wanted to read it, I could PM it. I actually really dislike poetry and want to be a physics major. Thus, they will think it is cool coming from me, or lame, because it actually is. </p>

<p>Thanks for the help. I want to Priority the letter tomorrow!</p>

<p>Getting of the waitlist is mostly luck. I'm sure that sending extra information will help, but in the end, it depends on who accepts admission and who doesn't as well as what kind of a class they are looking to build.</p>

<p>is it good to list scholarships received and honors given by other universities or will they look at that as you trying to tell them that they screwed up their admission decision on you because of what another school thinks?</p>
