Waitlisted - what next?

<p>Anyone know how many applicants Tech typically takes from the waitlist? Is it realistic to expect an acceptance?</p>

<p>i was wonderin’ the same thing</p>

<p>Wait, is the best idea. This year is different, and nobody knows what will happen. So hang tight. No need to call, send copies of your resume, etc. GT knows plenty about you at this point. </p>

<p>Any flurry of activity–camping out at the Admissions Office, having all your friends and neighbors write new rec letters for you, etc.–may be the kind of thing to move you further down the wait list, not up. They’re going to be busy working with the families that got in, working on their aid packages, etc. There isn’t much spare time to be hand-holding people you’ve asked to wait.</p>
