Now that all university decisions have been released , there is a chance you are in the worst situation - having to deal with multiple waitlists.
How should you react to being waitlisted.
First of all - remain calm , it is not the end of the world. If it is a university you are very keen about - secure your place on the priority waitlist ( this implies that you will definitely join if accepted). If you are not so keen about the program or have been already accepted at a school you consider better - do send a polite note to decline the waitlist offer. This way students who want to get accepted off the waitlist have a better chance
Usually 15-35 % of students get accepted of waitlists at universities. The odds depend on each university but you need to be realistic about your chances
It is Ok to call the admissions office and ask about your chances.
You can improve your chances by communicating clearly and enthusiastically with the university.
Let them know what you have done after sending n your application. Send an updated school transcript, talk about your extraciriiculars and summer plans.
Present yourself as the type of person they would want on campus in September.
