<p>configure,
sorry you got waitlisted. I think you are going to like Brandeis, though - there is definately the intellectual livelyness factor there, and Boston is a great city to live near. </p>
<p>If any of you have the emotional energy to pursue it, I think that proactively working the waitlist might be worth it. xiggi made the point that knowing (or making an educated guess as to) why you were waitlisted might help to get you off of it. If it was grades - maybe this quarter’s were better, if your recommendations were a bit lackluster, send another one. </p>
<p>I wish all of you the best, whatever happens. Last year, somebody’s kid didn’t get off the waitlist until late July. He was, I believe, very persistant.</p>
