I was waitlisted for one of my top choice schools at the beginning of November. Is there anything I can do that would help me at this point? I sent in an update letter with the most significant update in October (got a new Job) and there really isn't much more to add other than my development in that position. There have been some things I have been considering but I have my doubts about all of them.
1. send a letter of intent- someone I know is very insistent that they got in because of their LOI. but also this was 16 years ago and I've been rejected from that school anyway. On the other hand, I'm risking saying something that would negatively impact my application.
2. letter of continued interest/update letter- the issue here is that there isn't much to update on and the fact that I'm on still on the waitlist indicates that I am interested on being on the WL.
3. Just wait and do nothing. This seems like the best thing to do in order not to negatively impact my application but as I keep on getting more Rs and the cycle is starting to end, the anxiety is getting to me.
I would appreciate any insight that you can give on the matter.
PS I do have an A at a DO school so I have that to hold onto but I really like this particular program and would like to improve my chances as much as possible.
