| Since everyone on the waitlist is already deemed qualified to attend Princeton (which is why you were waitlisted and not outright rejected), it's probably not necessary to add more to your file unless you have a major new accomplishment. If places open up and they begin to draw from the waitlist, they will probably choose students who have a similar profile to the accepted students who decide not to go to Princeton. In other words, if a student who is an oboe player decides not to attend, they may look for another oboe player to replace him. The fact that you have accepted a place on the waitlist already signals your continued interest in Princeton.
That being said, good luck! Of the ten people I know who got into Princeton and also either Harvard and/or Yale, only half of them are seriously considering attending Princeton. If that is representative of other students who have to choose between HYP, it seems there is a good chance there will be some movement on the waitlist. |
