[quote=Anonymous]DS got off of Gonzaga’s waitlist a few years ago. The waitlist letter suggested that applicants who remained interested should write a letter expressing continued interest. So, the weekend after he found out he was waitlisted, he spent a good amount of time writing a letter explaining why he wanted to attend and saying (honestly) that GZ remained his first choice and that he would accept the spot if offered it. I heard that last year the yield was greater than expected and that GZ’s waitlist didn’t move at all or almost not at all. So, I think it just depends on the year. If your DC is waitlisted, I would get them excited about whatever options they do have. But, if they’re waitlisted at their clear first choice, I think it’s worth at least reaching out and letting the school know that. You don’t have anything to loose. Good luck![/quote]
