<p>…did you do anything extra to make it happen? Mail the admissions people? Bake them a cake? Or did you just accept a spot and wait?</p>
<p>i sent them a message, and they put me on the priorty waitlist. all you need to do is show a lot of intrest. say it’s your number one school and if you get off the waitlist you will surely attend. I even took a risk saying i would accept any spot including the college of general studies, though, i got lucky and was put in cas.</p>
<p>My D (who was offered a waitlist spot 5/3) also sent a letter as soon as she was put on the waitlist saying she’d still be thrilled to attend BU. It certainly can’t hurt to let them know that you’re still interested.</p>
