| I really hope so! Does anyone have any ideas about it? This is the email:
Hello, XXXXXXX. This is the first in a series of informative email messages I'll be sending you over the next few weeks. The email series will feature perspectives from several current Emory students who were originally on the wait list in previous years. I hope you find them helpful and insightful.
Today's email features a message from Sara, who was accepted from Emory's wait list.
"I was kind of disappointed when Emory contacted me and told me I was wait-listed. I wondered if they didn't think I was smart enough to handle their course work.
"Then Emory offered me a place in the first-year class. I was thrilled, and I love it here! I've enjoyed my classes, and my grades are excellent. Don't get me wrong, my classes aren't easy, but it's all about the amount of effort you put into studying.
"Because I was on Emory's wait list like you, my advice would be to stay in contact with Emory. This doesn't mean calling and emailing the admission office daily. However, you should take this opportunity to show you're truly interested.
"I'm glad I got to share some wisdom with you. Good luck!"
Many thanks to Sara for her insight. Be on the lookout for a weekly email message from me.
Sincerely,
Jean D. Jordan
Dean of Admission
