[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD waitlisted at Case Western. She keeps getting emails asking if it's her first choice, and she says yes. Her stats are way higher than CW's averages, yet they put her on the waitlist. I suspect it's because she didn't visit the school. She was hoping to get accepted before visiting. She's already accepted UVA, but still would go to Case if they accepted her. This waitlist thing is strange. [/quote]

This seems pretty unfair - especially with the ups and downs of Covid, many people have curtailed college visits. Not to mention the families who can’t afford it ….

That said, if it’s indeed your DC’s first choice at this point and the cost of travel is not an issue, I’d call admissions, set up a time to visit, and get on a plane. Even if it’s an up-and-back, same day trip.  A little risky (you don’t want your DC bonding harder to the school but then not getting in ... ) but if you want to maximize their chances of getting in off the waitlist, a visit is the way to go!
