So here's my situation. I have an acceptance at Northwestern, as well as an unranked school. I'm waitlist at UCI but that's where I want to go for various reasons (cost, community etc).

What should my strategy be to convince UCI to take me off the wait list? Should I tell them I have a top 20 acceptance through email or call them or what? Thanks for the help.
