<p>Hi guys, I was waitlisted at UCSB, and my college counselor at school told me that there is an essay you can write if your on the waitlist. Is this true?</p>
<p>you can do whatever you want, yet there is no required essay or specific format to use.</p>
<p>I know that for Davis (where I was waitlisted) you HAVE to write a 200 word essay for why you would like to attend the school in order to be kept on the waitlist by April 15th. I would assume it is similar for SB…it should tell you what you need to do when you log in to your account.</p>
