<p>So I've been waitlisted and USF is my #1. I read lots of articles online saying that if the school is your #1, show them it is by writing a short 1 - 2 page letter expressing your interest. I was going to do this but my AP lit teacher said there's no point. What do you guys think? I'm obviously not going to drive admissions crazy, but I don't think 1 letter will hurt. Any ideas?</p>
<p>I’d say to go for it, and to include any new info you can on what you’ve been up to, academically and extracurricularly, since you sent your application in, or plan to do for the rest of the semester. You may also want to consider putting together a small portfolio if you’re involved in the arts, or an additional letter of recommendation from someone who can provide a different perspective than whoever wrote your first. If you’re unsure, though, it may be a good idea to talk to your school counselor or even a USF admissions counselor for advice.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to start a waitlist letter? Do I write “first I’d like to thank you for looking over my application”, or do I just go right ahead and say why the school would be a perfect fit for me? Also, I would only be able to attend the school if I got an adequate amount of financial aid. Should I say that in the letter? I don’t exactly know how to write one, so any help would be appreciated. :)</p>
<p>I just got an e-mail notifying me that I got off the waitlist for Fall 2013… Didn’t do write a letter or anything… Too bad the financial aid package was horrible… My EFC was around $6,000 and they only gave me $5,500 in loans.</p>
<p>I just got off the waitlist too, but when did you find out how much financial aid you got?</p>
<p>Hello there! </p>
<p>If you were just admitted from the wait list at University of San Francisco and submitted your FAFSA to us, you will be considered for financial aid. Your package should be available for review tomorrow. You will receive an email at the email address you put down as primary on your application notifying you that the package is available. </p>
<p>Good luck and congrats!
