Emmybet: My oldest loved Brandeis but turned it down due to finances. Another boy from our HS then got in off of the wait list and has loved it there. Good luck to your d! I think she has a good shot.

From the info in this thread, I found out via the common data set that the WL my son is on took about 22% off of the waitlist in the most recent year. Much better odds than I expected. He would be happy at his other schools, but the WL school could be a good option. One problem with his application is that it was a school that seemed to be way out of reach, but he decided it was worth a shot. Thus. late visit and application in close to the end of the application period (but on time). It is certainly worth writing a letter with more information and indicating he would attend (assuming he makes that decision). Also seems like the school has more girls than boys, so he may have a shot on that basis as well.

Thanks
