Like the title suggests, I got waitlisted at Andover but accepted at a local day school. I’ve stayed on the waitlist. Is there anything, and I mean anything, I could do to help my chances of getting off?
Best to go to the Waitlist thread and start reading the posts there (work backwards). That thread will also become very active starting today. Reading through the posts will help you understand how the WL actually works and answer many of your questions. One suggestion - the most useful posts are the level-headed, objective ones; pay little to no attention to the frustrated/angry ones. Good luck!

agree with the above: read the waitlist threads. but what’s also important is to not panic, and to not lose hope.
