Waitlisted today. Honored to even still be considered, but I'm not sure how long I'll ride it out. We'll see.

Same on all counts. Expected for sure, but was holding out hope for at least a WL. Oh well

Hello all, This is my first post on TLS so forgive my ignorance. I was waitlisted a week or so ago and I'm just wondering if there's anything I should be doing right now to help my chances? Should I submit something saying that if offered admission I will 100% accept? Or is it just a wait and see, nothing I can do nightmare? ;)

Thanks for any advice.

write a letter of continued interest and plan a visit and talk to admissions people letting them know your visiting and and see if you can set up some informal appointments to go meet their staff. Schools want people who show interest, those who are on WLs and do nothing will likely see nothing happen to them. If you have any updates to your app (grades, scores, a promotion at work, something tangible) submit those as well. If it's your top choice convey that. Read some of the WL threads on here. If you want to go to Penn, or any school that WLd you, the absolute worst thing you can do is do nothing.

I know there was a 5/1 seat deposit deadline, anyone know if there is another one for the month of June and/orJuly?

I feel like it would be within a few days after you receive a phone call? Not sure though...

I got in off the WL and I only had to make one seat deposit....that was around May 27th. I don't have to make another one so I'm assuming there isn't another one.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
