[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, everyone. This is OP: He has decided to push hard to get off the waitlist at CWRU. We will keep our fingers crossed.Thank you to everyone who asked for an update. He is still upset but has come to terms that he will either go to his safety or hopefully get off of one of the waitlists, preferably CWRU at the point.

It has been a challenging journey and it is not over yet. Hopefully it won't take all summer for schools to figure out the waitlist situation.[/quote]

Your son should write a waitlist letter:
1. make sure your son ends the letter with: if admitted off the waitlist, he will go to the school. Start the letter by saying, the school is his top choice, etc.etc.

2. In the middle of the letter: give updates of son’s achievements/activities since application

3. Keep length to one page

You and your son should go back to your private school college counselor and ask them to call the waitlisted college admissions. College counselor should stress that the college is son’s top choice and if admitted, would attend.

Colleges want to protect yield. Good luck!! [/quote]
