<p>I got this letter too…</p>
<p>Hey guys. As someone who got off the waitlist earlier this month, I would strongly advise you all to submit the one-page statement. I’m pretty sure it was one of the major factors in my acceptance - my regional admissions officer even referenced the letter I sent in the little hand-written note they put on the bottom of the standard acceptance letter. </p>
<p>Don’t be boring or cliche, either, because you can imagine how many of these they’re receiving. You made it to the waitlist, so you’re qualified; you just need to show them why they need you as much as you need them. Stand out. It’s your best shot. That’s the way I approached it, anyway, and I got in.</p>
<p>I agree with Warhol. D was accepted from waitlist just a few days after she sent in her one-page update.</p>
<p>screw it… I am going to Northwestern.</p>
<p>Okay, I just saw the exact same mail in my inbox too.</p>
<p>I’m pretty confused. What does this even mean? Someone here said it right: they used a lot of words to say basically nothing. How can we ALL be on the extended waitlist? I mean, if spots become available, they’re going over ALL our apps again? WHAT ARE THEY UPTO? WHY DO THEY LIKE TORTURING US? Okay, I’ll shut up before a giant axe falls on my head.</p>
<p>So the basic question is this: should we write a NEW statement, send in our old statement, or just write a basic short e-mail saying we are still interested?</p>
<p>Guys, I don’t know what to do. Though I think we should all stick together.</p>
<p>It means we better keep on wishing because now they’re just screwing with us. -_-</p>
<p>What??? I sent in a statement too… Like a few days right after I was waitlisted. And then I sent in another additional statement. No fair. =(</p>
<p>Jedimaster: you sent two statements? So what’re you doing this time? Dropping off or staying put and re-sending stuff?</p>
<p>I’m totally confused.</p>
<p>I don’t see the point in sending the same statement twice or sending a new one unless you can find something new to say.</p>
<p>I agree with you. I don’t think I’m sending anything at all.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, I’m quite exhausted by this whole process.</p>
<p>Argh, someone out there really hates us. And that’s why our year’s been worse than any other. It seems like people’ve doubled, or something. Arrrghh.</p>
<p>there’s always more to say :)</p>
<p>I can’t think of anything to say. DX</p>
<p>I called my admissions officer, and she said that I could send in another statement. So that’s what I did… I didn’t write the same thing in the two statements, so it should be okay. Calling them now…</p>
<p>Edit: She just said they are and they will continue to go to the waitlist through June, so I guess we all still have a chance.</p>
<p>I wonder when they’ll actually say something about who’s going to be rejected or accepted. I don’t trust the dates on these mass e-mails anymore. The last one was WRONG. D< It said the earliest was May 15th last time and then it changed. =/ And then when we thought we’d hear something yesterday we get nothing. May 15th my butt. D<</p>
<p>Jedimaster: you sent in a third statement?</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>It might be overkill and backfire on me. My first statement was horrible. My second statement was mediocre. My third statement was… convincing. But they’d probably be ****ed that I sent them those two useless letters, and send me a last useless letter of rejection to me.</p>
<p>Or they might realize that you really want to go there, and admit you.</p>
<p>Did you apply to CC or SEAS?</p>
<p>Haha, hopefully…</p>
<p>I applied to CC. You?</p>
<p>I applied to CC too. ^_^</p>
<p>I guess we all applied to CC then.</p>
<p>So we’re pretty much competing against each other. Ennhh.</p>
<p>Anyway. I’m awfully bored.</p>
