[quote=Anonymous]While wait list is a long shot, you still need to show that you will 100% matriculate if you get off the list. Send recent scores and awards. Even send another recommendation. Have your GC update with this is your top school. Keep in touch with your regional rep. That all said, move onto the second favorite. Dive into it. Put the deposit down on April 30th and be happy that is the school they are going to. If (and it is a huge if) the Ivy calls, you will cancel the other school, forfeit your deposit, and have 48hrs to put a deposit on the ivy. I have known a few kids who received calls as late as July. Most of them end up not going to their initial top school because they already mentally invested in the second school and realize how great it is. I only know of one who moved and she transferred the following year. So go all in, but have your heart set on a place that WANTS your child now. [/quote]
