<p>I'm writing a letter to a college X where I'm waitlisted, and I had a question. Should I mention I was accepted at another university, but then say why college X would be a much better fit and why I want to go there. Or should I just leave out the other university all together? Thanks so much.</p>
<p>think its understood that u got accepted elsewhere. Say it if you want, but emphasise on the fact that X is a perfect fit for you etc.</p>
<p>Don't even bother saying it, just explain why college X is such a good fit. Why even mention somewhere else? Commit to attending there if accepted, and state new stuff you've done since you submitted your app that should be taken into consideration, and tell them how much you love them. Saying you're putting down a deposit somewhere else is kind of pointless... they know you will.</p>
