Getting off the waitlist,

I guess the big thing was that I wasn't afraid to call and ask. Not to be a pain to the folks in the office but, for example, I had some updates to my grad school transcript and called to make sure all the schools that were pending got an updated transcript. I offered to send the pending schools a copy of my thesis as well. Its like a subliminal opportunity to brag. I sent an updated resume when I was promoted to Captain and received some new decorations from the Air Force. Schools like the attention. Remember, the waitlist is because schools need to fill their slots. Check the admit/matric ratios. Widener was aroung 46%. Dayton around 26% so I am not gonna hear from them for a while (not that it matters). Schools want to hear that they are your top choice if admitted.

New England sent a letter saying only 65 people would be invited to join the waiting list. There are more than 30 on this site. I think NESL might have waitlisted a lot more people than 65. Not counting on that one.
