<p>Honestly, I was kind of surprised about being wait-listed. I demonstrated a lot of interest in the school and asked for an interview. I felt I was a reasonably strong candidate.</p>
<p>@zhangkristina, I don’t think it is a surprise. Your last name tells all. My feeling is that you have to be ten times better than others.</p>
<p>My daughter found out March 27-28?</p>

<p>If you are waitlisted, definitely write a letter and let them know that you are interested and why. I have heard that makes a big difference.</p>
<p>I am also on the waitlist for W&L’s class of 2017. Does anyone know if there has been any movement on the waitlist for this year yet?</p>
<p>I don’t think there’s been any movement yet but I was stalking an old CC blog ( because I have nothing better to do haha) about wait lists at schools and I remember seeing that W&L started using its wait list on April 28th or so…</p>

<p>That being said, don’t hold me to anything!</p>
<p>Last year a friend’s son got off the WL in late May. Of course, prior year patterns are no guarantee of future results.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. Yeah I guess anytime from now until the end of May would be a reasonable guess. I have emailed them that W&L is my number one choice. I am not to sure what else would be benificial, I guess it’s just a waiting game now :/</p>
<p>I just got a package today from W&L getting off the waitlist! I showed very little interest originally in my application, but after being waitlisted I wrote the dean of admissions a letter about my interest/updates on school.</p>
<p>good luck to everyone!!</p>
<p>Congratulations!!! They called my house yesterday asking for extra papers I am going to send in this week. Do you think it is a good sign they called and asked? I really hope I am as lucky as you! Did your change show up on the applicant portal?</p>
<p>would you mind sharing highlights of your letter?</p>
<p>yeah it showed up on my applicant portal.</p>
<p>i started by talking about why w&l was a good opportunity for me & why i like it, then updated things about how my senior year is going and what activities i’ve been involved in. the whole thing was about 2 paragraphs and i also said it was my first choice.</p>
<p>I got off the waitlist!</p>
