You\u2019ve still got a chance of getting into your dream school, so now\u2019s not the time to slack off, and it\u2019s certainly not the time to give up. Continue fighting for that acceptance!<\/p>\n<p>Your waitlist updates (you write those) and letters of support (other people write these) should focus on three areas:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Your      growing list of qualifications. <\/strong>You want to prove to the      adcoms that while you were a responsible, accomplished, impressive      candidate before, now you are even more so. Discuss recent initiatives      you\u2019ve taken\u2014in the workplace and in your community\u2014and developments or      advances you\u2019ve made in your career or academics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steps      you\u2019ve taken to ameliorate shortcomings. <\/strong>Figure out what      weaknesses were revealed in your application and\/or interview and work to      improve them. Be able to discuss specific changes you\u2019ve made in your      life\u2014education and career\u2014that make you a stronger candidate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How you      fit with the school. <\/strong>You were born to attend this school      and this school was created just for you. Your fit is as perfect as a cozy      glove on a cold hand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Waitlist Update Writing Step-By-Step<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Begin your letter by briefly      thanking the school for considering your application. Don\u2019t talk about      your disappointment; instead focus on how the school\u2019s philosophy and      approach fit your educational goals.<\/li>\n<li>Discuss your recent      accomplishments. Choose achievements that you did not address in your      application and try and tie them back to key themes in your essays. These      could include a recent promotion, freshly minted A\u2019s, a new leadership      role in a project or organization, a recent volunteer experience,      initiatives you\u2019ve taken in your department, business, or club, additional      work responsibilities, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Talk about the measures      you\u2019ve taken to ameliorate your weaknesses, if necessary. Focus on the      action you\u2019ve taken rather than on the actual shortcoming. For example, if      you have\/had weak communication skills, discuss how you enrolled in Toastmasters      and how the experience has influenced and inspired you.<\/li>\n<li>If you are sure that upon      acceptance you would attend, inform the school of your commitment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Above all, stay positive as your letter will reflect your attitude. Adcoms do not want to read a bitter and angry letter, nor will they want that writer in their classrooms.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 70%;\">A couple of caveats:<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t waste your reader\u2019s      time by repeating material already in your application.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t write if the school      states explicitly that it doesn\u2019t want to hear from you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For more information on how to transform your waitlist status into an acceptance, check out one of Accepted's popular waitlist ebooks. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accepted.com\/Ecommerce\/medwait\/medwaitlist.aspx?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_campaign=TipPost\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Nine Mistakes You Don't Want to Make on a Med School Waitlist<\/em><\/a><strong> and <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accepted.com\/Ecommerce\/lawwait\/lawwaitlist.aspx?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_campaign=TipPost\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Nine Mistakes You Don't Want to Make on a Law School Waitlist<\/em><\/a><strong> are on sale through the month of February\u2014automatically save 20% at checkout! <\/strong>\ufeff<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accepted.com\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"full-image-block ssNonEditable\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/profile.ak.fbcdn.net\/object3\/947\/54\/s8255073883_9880.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1260090948492\" alt=\"Accepted.com\" \/><\/span>Accepted.com<\/a> ~ Helping You Write Your Best<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The application process is not over for waitlisted applicants.
