<p>On Wednesday I received an email from admissions informing me that I've been been wait-listed for the Retail Management program within The Whitman School of Management. I originally applied for the Dual Enrollment Program for Retail Management (Whitman) and Graphic Design (Newhouse). My second choice was Entrepreneurship (Whitman). </p>
<p>This news was not only disappointing, but disheartening considering that fact that Syracuse is my top choice. Yesterday I decided to send them an email expressing my feelings and my continued interest in attending. At this point, I'm really upset, because I understand that the chances of being admitted from the wait-list is very slim. </p>
<p>I feel completely helpless right now and the only thing I can think of doing is sending in additional information to backup and support my application. Since I'm applying for a business major, I feel that it would be in my best interest to get a letter of recommendation from my economics teacher (I currently have a 99 in the class), a letter of recommendation from my business communications professor (its a college course and I currently have an A), and send a copy of my transcript from my previous college course which was introduction to business (I got a B+).</p>
<p>I was also considering a letter of recommendation from my dean (she knows me very well) Any other ideas of what I should/can do? Here's a basic idea of my stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8 (unweighted)
SAT: 1680 (the weakest part of my application)
ECs: plenty of leadership roles, activities, etc.</p>
