<p>S got waitlised at a top ranking school. Still thinking what he can send in as supplement info. His updated stuff with a letter to Admissions. That’s easy. Do you guys think an alum letter can help? What else?</p>
<p>If the alum knows your son really well, can shed more light onto your son’s personality and fit for this college, and is actively involved with his/her alma mater (or donates huge $$$), the letter might have a tiny effect. However, it is just MHO.</p>
