Waitlist :(

<p>What can I do, if anything, to increase my chances of getting in? UIUC has been my first choice since 353466 years ago. Am I doomed forever?</p>

<p>That's bad. UIUC your first chioce?
I'm declining mine. I hope you get my slot. +)
gd luck!</p>

<p>bring them a petition talking about everythign you have to say about why would love the place so much, why you want to go there, what you plan to do with your major, how you will be involved on campus, and how you will benefit the school!!!!! sometimes sucking up helps!</p>

<p>Seriously.... it's just UIUC. Don't suck up. It's not even worth it...
go to your 2nd chioce.</p>

<p>"just UIUC" is a pretty relative statement. Depends on who you are.</p>

<p>Anyway, emadz89: I was on their website and stumbled across this and remembered your post. As far as increasing your chances, i don't think you can do anything. I was admitted to a big ten school from a waitlist if it makes you feel better/hopeful:</p>
