<p>Dear–</p>
<p>As you know, the deadline for accepting Bowdoin’s invitation to be considered for admission from our waiting list was May 1st. Since we have not received your reply, we assume that you have made plans to attend another college or university, and it is now necessary for us to close your admission file here.</p>
<p>Thankyou for considering Bowdoin and for taking the time to prepare your applications and essays. My staff and I wish you much success as you continue your education.</p>
<h2>Sincerely yours,</h2>
<p>P.S If you DID return your reply on or before May 1st, please contact us IMMEDIATELY(underline) to confirm your intent to remain on our waiting list</p>
<p>I just recieved this letter. I had accepted long before the deadline to remain on their waitlists since it was my top choice but it was perhaps lost in postal mail. I had also confirmed these intentions via email to the admissions office much before the deadline. I sent them mails till the 4rth of May nd then stopped coz i didnt want to look like i was stalking them. I have contacted them thru e-mail juss now. What does this letter mean? Can it be seen as a positive indication. Should i contact them by phone?</p>
