<p>Wrote letters, sent updates.</p>
<p>Now what?</p>
<p>(I was waitlisted.)</p>
<p>Patience. Prayer.</p>
<p>Then more of both. :)</p>
<p>Have you made a plan yet for what to do if you stay on the waitlist?</p>
<p>I was waitlisted at all the schools I applied to. After hearing the news, I immediately sent short letters to the schools requesting to stay on the waitlist. Should I write a more lengthy letter expressing my desire to go to the school?</p>
<p>Here is a list of coed college-prep boarding schools with rolling admission as according to [Search</a> Boarding Schools](<a href=“Boarding School Search Results”>Boarding School Search Results) - take a look at the list and call up a couple of schools that you’re interested in and perhaps they will still have some spots. </p>

<p>Sheesh . . . ye of little faith!</p>
<p>I understand the waiting is agonizing, and it does seem pretty hopeless, but don’t give up yet.</p>
<p>Be aware that if you look at other schools, they’re unlikely to be able to tell you about available space until after 4/10. And if you need FA, be aware that rolling admissions does not mean “rolling financial aid” - most funds will be gone by 4/10. So look at some of the schools that futureboarding posted. It’s entertaining and helps the time pass. But don’t give up on your waitlists. You put a lot of work into those applications, and it was enough for the WL schools to decide that you were qualified for admission. So let the system work.</p>
<p>as always, take what is presented on Boarding School Review with a grain of salt.</p>
