This article may help: 10 Ways to Get Off A College's Waitlist.
Some interesting tips include:
- Contact the admissions office and ask to speak to the representative who covers your geographic region. Many offices will tell you what the committee's concerns were with your application.
- Don't make a visit to campus just because you think it will help your chances. If you're going to visit, you should have a reason for doing so, other than because you think you should.
- Forget recommendation letters from alumni. They hold little to no weight.
Be sure to check out this worthwhile article, and good luck in getting off that waitlist!
