<p>I emailed J. Nondorf (the regional rep and Dean of Admissions) and he was very prompt in getting back to me:</p>
<p>"Thank you, [name], for the very thoughtful e-mail. I do appreciate it (and your patience).</p>
<p>As to the waitlist, there is nothing you need/should do (other than accept a spot on it – which you have done, and send your officer an e-mail – and this one certainly counts). The waitlist is not ordered/ranked and at this time, I do not know if we will take students from the waitlist or how many we will be able to offer admission. If we do, it typically occurs in late April and early May and all decisions are final by June.</p>
<p>I do hope it all works out and thank you once again for your kind words about the university.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
<p>Jim</p>
