<p>I was waitlisted by Columbia, and I just happen to be visiting New York this week. Should I stop by admissions to let them know I'm there? In the waitlist letter, they said interviews would not be available, so I'm not expecting that. But is there anything else I can do that would help?</p>
<p>I think you should write an e-mail to your regional admissions officer and just be very frank…see what he/she says</p>
