Hi- You know that schools really try and maximize their yield so you may have been WLed at schools because they weren’t convinced you were going to come - or couldn’t gauge how interested you really were. Peddie is certainly more selective than a few of the schools that WLed you and if you’ve visited, you’ve seen how strong the facilities are. Do you prefer other schools? If so, that’s another issue but don’t discount Peddie because they were the one that offered you a spot…give them credit for recognizing your strengths. What are your real concerns - if you like Peddie (and it is among the very best boarding schools in the country) be happy with that opportunity. If you really preferred another school - let them know. A letter does help - but don’t try and get more acceptances because you’ll feel better, only do it if you would truly prefer one of these over Peddie. Make sense?
