<p>So far I have sent emails, talk to the admissions officer, sent a letter and an additional essay. I recently placed 3rd in states for tennis, how should i notify them about this? Is there anything else I can do?</p>
<p>Hmm...wait til Trackie sees this. If there's someone who can help you, it's Trackie.</p>
<p>About the award, I don't think it would hurt to send them another email about it. In fact, I think that one of the keys to my admittance off of the Duke waitlist was a frequent correspondence with my admissions officer.</p>
<p>i just went to the college admissions forum, saw "waitlisted at washu" and was here in less than a second. check out my "how to get off the waitlist" thread. it's a long story... too much to tell here.</p>
<p>call, email, ask to talk to YOUR admissions counselor, send pictures, send newspaper articles, send anything and everything. put yourself out there. CALL.</p>
<p>Haha...well that didn't take long.</p>
<p>did you get in off the waitlist trackie? what exactly did you talk to your admission officer with multiple times? I explained to him why i wanted to go to WashU and what I could give back to WashU.</p>
<p>while on the phone, i told the admission office that i perform magic tricks. we had a nice conversation after that. should i send in a video performing?? or would that be over-board?</p>
<p>i didn't get off the waitlist, but only five or so people did. washu hasn't been very open about the waitlist.</p>
<p>the video might be interesting. i'd send it. but then again, i would send everything.</p>
<p>just called them..said that they will be taking some in the few weeks...all in all...we will find out at the end of june....</p>
