Kimmy -I’m so sorry to hear that you were waitlisted at Santa Clara. We also think it is a very special school. I checked last year’s common data set, and found that 2,262 applicants were waitlisted, 855 accepted a place on the waiting list, and 228 were admitted. So there is hope!
I’m not sure how to advise you, because my son hasn’t encountered this. I think if it were my son, and it was his very first choice, he would contact the admissions office and let them know that. Also, if they ask for any supplemental information (such as fall grades) make sure you provide it ASAP.
Good luck, I will be thinking good thoughts for you!
