Withdrew last Friday from:

Chicago ($$)
NYU ($$)

Duke

Penn
GULC

Hope my spot(s) goes to someone awesome with good taste in music.

Lol I hope that in your withdrawal from NYU you insisted that you only be replaced by someone with good taste in music who MAYbe majored in music during his undergrad. You'd have been doing me a GIGANTIC favor

And to those who already have, saw two posts so far, thank you!

question -

is it appropriate to send LORs if on a waitlist? i had an extra that i couldn't submit originally. I know it's very strong so I figure there's no hurt in trying.

I hope my seats and scholarships go to students who really want them! Hoping enough students withdrawal from Notre Dame to get me off their waitlist.

Real quick question, what does it mean to be "held" and how do waitlists work? Are they ranked and as spots empty they reach down to next in line?

depends on the school. there should be a held or waitlist FAQ the school has

I definitely would. You might want to check the waitlist FAQ for the school to make sure, but I'd be very surprised if they mentioned it wouldn't help (I think UVA was the only school I remember saying that additional letters of recommendations wouldn't be very helpful after a waitlist, could be wrong though)

[punkyg0608]
