上了waiting list,能做些什么?

continuous:失望地问一下:duke的interview被WL了,还能做点什么吗?能不能缠一下adcom表表决心啥的?今年就这一家了,郁闷ing...

Soniashi: 上Waiting List有很多原因,不同学的学校WL的比例也不一样。有些学校明确要求WL不要联系学校,有些学校就说WL要积极提供材料。这个一定要注意,不要随便出手。

WL如果是第一轮,还是比较有希望的,通常取决于Yield Rate。就是后面拿到Offer的人有多少会接受。而且对于学校来说,有的学校WL只等一轮,有些就等到最后。这里面的细节还是建议找校友打听一下的好。

当然如果是在破釜沉舟只此一家别无分号的境地,那也可以打电话或者邮件去问问的。只是要注意方式。开始是简短的,一两句话的信,看看那边什么情况,如果没有遭到拒绝,再继续。人都是讲感情,不能太直接。要循序渐进。先嘘寒问暖,再说自己对学校的热爱。还有就是如果从提交材料开始,到目前,有什么重大变化的,比如工作进展啊,跳槽啊等等,都可以通过邮件,甚至Additional Essay的方式加上去。

不过以我的个人经验,WL下来的人比例不是很大,LZ珍重,不要让WL成为负担。

continuous:感谢各位的回复,尤其是soniashi的热心回答,我会如你所说,好好珍重,哈哈,另外,大家觉得如果schedule一次campus visit有用吗?

Soniashi:有用,有用的。

wycg:WL还得看后面一轮的情况,要是今年申请人又多又强,那就很难,总之,这个要比你写管用。

zonia:I'm kind of a college application consultant myself and I would say anything, like waitlist letter (updating with your promotion / recent achievements), campus visit, alumni / current student letter of support, additional letter of recommendation (if that provides another new angel of you). The most important thing is to stick totally to the notification letter, walk to your waitlist manager, find out if there are any identified issue they are not sure about in your application. (This comment applies to all school except HBS / Wharton)

But one really really important thing is don't overdo this and annoyed your adcom or waitlist manager. If they frankly say you should wait, you should probably wait (except a short but firm note re-stating the fact that you would like to join their class anyways, all school love to admit applicants which would REALLY join them)... getting them annoyed wont do you any good at all circumstances.
