Wesleyan is my D’s 2nd choice, she was deferred at Tufts for ED. Apparently she must email to Wesleyan asap to stay on waitlist. How can she frase it “Wesleyan remains my top choice? Remains one of my top choices sounds” . Very likely she’ll be rejected at tufts so she needs to give Wesleyan her best shot. Any advice?
Email but then send updated grades, a hand-written letter stating why she is a great match for Wes, another letter of recommendation, perhaps from a community member or other person who can highly recommend her, then maybe a really great paper she wrote or a video of a performance or one other relevant piece. If your school guidance counselor can call and ask her admissions counselor what, if anything was lacking, and to reiterate that she will absolutely come if she is offered a spot.
Good luck!
Thank you, very helpful!
