Creative ideas for waitlisted candidates

Haha, I was wondering. What crazy things have you heard WL’d candidates have done in the past? Have any worked?

It’s exceeding unlikely that anyone with a truly unique idea is going to share it with you and other strangers via a public post on CC. It appears as though you are already admitted to Brown, among many other schools. Quit focusing on your very remote “maybes,” which are actually “probably nots,” and celebreate being a Bruin! Brown is an amazing school.

BRIBE THEM

@sltxdad‌ LOL. I wasn’t asking for creative ideas. I was asking for any funny stories you have heard. I read somewhere tahat someone sent a cookie platter to Yale after SCEA deferral every other Friday lol and was eventually admitted.

@thegrant‌ Yeah, good idea. I’ll slip in $100s. You think 100 of them will be enough? :stuck_out_tongue:

@lb43823‌ there used to be a kid on college confiential that said that knew from personal experience how much “donations” were enough for Dartmouth to accept his stupid friend, his parents had donated close to $400,000…

@lb43823‌ SEND IN DRAKE MIXTAPES

Camp outside the admissions office for a few days and hope they realize how much you want to attend their institution.

@AnEpicIndian‌ I think I read somewhere someone did that and they were not admitted. I think it was CMU WL. Try to see if you can find LOL.

Enclose a letter w/ $2,000 cAsH. Include a note that says “For my regional admissions officer, s/he’ll know what needs to be done”

@Ctesiphon‌ Lol, great! :stuck_out_tongue: No, in all seriousness, though, what about besides money?
