Waitlist to acceptance stories?

We were told specifically (last year by 3 schools) to have the student write to the school stating why they wanted to stay on the waitlist and if the school was in fact their first choice, why that was so. We also included a small list of relevant additional information.
3 Years ago I know three families who did this at one school and subsequently stayed in touch with their admissions person at the school and 2 got in, one FP, one with FA.

Caution: Do not tell more than one school they are your first choice! You can say A top choice, one of my top choices, but not first choice for more than one.
