<p>i just got waitlisted and it said to notify them if i want to be on the waitlist by writing. can i email them or do they want a real letter? and by writing does that mean by hand? or can i type it?</p>
<p>If it said notify in writing, send a letter. Type it. Sign the letter. If it just said notify, e-mail. Good luck.</p>
<p>I would do both - write the letter like a resume. Let them know that in the email, a letter will follow. It can’t hurt and you should really sell yourself. If this is where you really want to go, you have nothing to lose - but let them know why you should go there and why they need you there.</p>
