Ha anyone gotten off a boarding school waitlist? Please share the story and include tips on how to get off of that waitlist. If you are wondering I was waitlisted at P.E.A (Phillips Exeter Academy)
There are no real tips for getting off a waiting list. That’s because getting off a waiting list depends on what the school needs, not something you would do. For example, they may be short a girl day student. If you are a boy, or live 1,000 miles from the school there’s nothing you can do to make yourself an attractive candidate to get off the list.
It may happen, it may not, but it is now out of your hands. If I were your parent, I’d urge you to focus on the school you will be attending in the fall, not the one you are waitlisted for.
