<p>I was waitlisted at UChicago. Any tips or advice on successfully getting off of it? Was anyone else waitlisted here?</p>
<p>Write a letter of intent, explaining that if you are removed from the waitlist and accepted, that you will definitely go. Also, write that U of C is your first choice college. Write in some specific aspects of the school that you really love and what you can contribute. Ask them to reconsider and revaluate your case.</p>
<p>Also, send them an updated resume/list of activities. Maybe you can call the Undergraduate Office of Admissions, like someone else on CC did, and explain to the dean of admission that you would love to go to U of C, giving some quick reasons why they should reconsider your case.</p>
