In at Yale and Princeton, but waitlisted at Harvard!

The waitlist must be huge because as of now, I know 6 people from my 150-person school who have been waitlisted..

Waitlisted here and at Columbia, but was rejected at Brown and Cornell (what the heck? i know).

I'm off to NYU Stern for now...

What should I do to even try and get off the waitlist? Write a letter?

jj_w, you should accept an offer of admission from your other school before the May 1 deadline. Harvard will notify you of your status AFTER May 1 and the most that will happen is that you will lose your deposit at your intended school. (:

So does Harvard want us to update our file/send more letters of rec/send supplemental materials? I can't find it anywhere...

Very small chance of this happening, but I got into Stanford and got waitlisted at Harvard..my parents told me to stay on the waitlist but what if (by a 1% chance) I get accepted through the waitlist, but I still want to go to Stanford? I could decline right? With no penalty?
