<p>Winning the huge debate tournament is pretty big news.</p>
<p>Oh, and unless it's in a big newspaper or anything, how do you update them on accomplishments? Just tell them?</p>
<p>I don't think you can get BME off the WL - I imagine it's just engineering regular.</p>
<p>I just sent an e-mail saying that i was still interested in teh school, I had just lead my team to a state debate tourny, I had just won a scholarship for outstanding achievement in the social studies, and that I was finishing an independent study on Irish History. I thanked them and said i hoped i would hear from them soon...</p>
<p>...i received an email shortly thereafter thanking me for being in direct contact and saying that they would have some news for my by "tomorrow." The next day I e-mailed my college counsler who said I should come back that afternoon. At about 2 pm I received a call from the admissions office. </p>
<p>That's it. Seriously. So basically, I did very little to get myself off the waitlist. In subsequent convos with a dean I was told that they were looking carefully at me for a long time. So they probably have an idea already of who they're going to admit. It's out of your hands and completely up to fate.</p>
<p>how do we send/update our information like it says on the letter/email???</p>
<p>find your regional representative and email them/send a letter/email to the admissions office as a whole</p>
<p>if you're waitlisted at more than one college, can you accept a position on the waitlist for more than one?</p>
<p>justask: I believe so, I am on both Hopkins and UChicago's waitlists</p>
<p>Yes. I had a friend that was on the waitlists for Georgetown, Williams, and Brown. He ended up getting off the Brown waitlist last year and going there.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted at two places (the other I was pretty upset about, it was a safety for me), and only stayed on the JHU one. Smart choice.</p>
