<p>If you are currently waitlisted, what steps are you currently taking to increase your chances, and for what school?</p>

<p>Boy, you don't want to know. I'm one of about 10 people waitlisted for Yale. I got off the phone with the dean of NYU Stern today and she's writing me a recommendation. I'll probably get at least 2 more recommendations, but the killer is my sketch. I just got done sketching the Yale Sterling Memorial Library, brick for brick, after about 7 hours of work. Then I drew a little version of myself at the steps and a speech bubble saying, "I belong here in the fall!". I'm going to send it to the admissions officer, along with a letter stating why I really want to attend Yale, why I would be devoted to teh community, and what my summer plans are. And of course, a second semester transcript.</p>

<p>Does this sound like too much?</p>
