<p>Here are some ideas --</p>
<p>First, you should google the Common Data Set for each of the schools. They will give you the data for how many students were WL, how many accepted a place on the WL, and how many were ultimately admitted from the WL. This will tell your chances.</p>
<p>Second, you need financial aid, how many of these schools are need-blind. I believe (but don’t know for certain), that need-blind means need-blind, and you will get financial aid if admitted.</p>
<p>Other than that, show interest. If there is a school you would attend – write to that school and say “You will attend if accepted”. I don’t recommend this, however, if it your attendance is contingent on a package from a non-need blind school. </p>
<p>Otherwise, a personalized letter to the school reexpressing your interest and why you are a good fit is generally appropriate. Update any grades, Standardized tests, and significant accomplishments or awards. Other than that, show interest, but don’t be a nudge.</p>
