Yikes! I didn’t send anything in. I called around late may / early June asking if the waitlist was closed and got a call the next week letting me know that if I wanted a place, I had one.

I did an internship doing science-y stuff in between my junior and senior years of high school. That was a big deal to me, but I’m not sure what made me all that special. I imagine an admissions officer could shed more light on that situation.

Also, Williams’s newspaper had an article about students trying to get off the waitlist. It was a good read and it may give you some ideas (also, you might see what’s been done before).
