I was fortunate enough to be given 3 pre December interviews, but unfortunately have been waitlisted at each school. SO I am frantically trying to get off the waitlist and not risk spending another year trying to beef up my application. I am a full time substitute teacher at a high school, teaching mainly STEM classes. Since it's the holidays, I decided to start a coat and blanket drive at school, so I can collect and donate items to local homeless shelters. My drive has been going pretty well, so well that I was contacted by the local paper because they want to do an article about the drive that I started.
My question is, should I give the schools where I was waitlisted (NYU, LECOM, IUPUI) a call to let them know about the cause? Do you think that a newspaper article about the drive that I started will help me stick out among the many other people who were also waitlisted? My top choice would be LECOM, so could anyone shed some light on how they may react to this update?
