My recommender says that he needs someone in the functioning hierarchy to understand the exact the working of the wait-list so that he can specifically carve a recommendation for this purpose. He has himself been a teacher to the Stanford study abroad students at Oxford, and hence has a fairly accurate idea of the place. He sees me as a great fit for the Computer Science program at Stanford and simply wants to help me out.

You, my dear friend, are following the practical flow of thought. I understand what you are saying. But try to empathize with me as well. I cannot go straight out and proclaim to my recommender that I could find no one, not even a single soul, with this rare combination. He has himself volunteered to help me out. I hope you get the cause and help me with this.
