<p>Just a followup to what happened with us. After all these post-application letters, my kids were waitlisted. I have twins, and they each received different mailings. My D received letters from the chairs of two different departments and my son received a letter from the Dean of the College. Each also received a letter from the regional admissions rep, which was fine, because it didn’t single anything out personally but was just an introduction and an offer to contact him with any questions. My kids had demonstrated interest through a campus visit, an alumni interview and attending the rep’s visit at their school. </p>
<p>So, future applicants reading this: pay no attention to what looks like wooing after you’ve applied!</p>
<p>My kids declined the waitlist offers.</p>
