RedWaterbottle95:

• I led two fundraisers for the [club I run] that raised over $12,000.
• I organized [school] Service Day 2024, which broke the school’s volunteer participation record (392/425 students participated).
• I raised my AP Calculus BC grade up to a 91 for the semester, earning a 100 on the semester exam.
• I partnered with students from [other] School to create an inter-school initiative that writes letters to LA firefighters.
• I led [school]’s largest food distribution to date, gifting groceries to 600+ families.

It’s ok to provide an application update with this info (without the grade bullet, which is in the midterm report.) I wouldn’t turn it into a LOCI though, maybe a bullet at the end that said something like ‘if i get off the waitlist I will attend.’

Getting off the waitlist is going to have more to do with where you live, your gender, your intended major, etc. You can’t count on hearing about the waitlist before May 1, so do make sure you deposit at another school by their enrollment deadline. Good luck!
