What can I do if I'm waitlisted?

I also got wait listed at Emory.
The decisions are not out yet for the RD so we have to wait till the end of April ~ mid May to get our letters… which sucks.
I’ve emailed the admission officer too but got no reply.
All the wait listed people, i think, sent an email saying that Emory is their first choice.
You could talk to your school university counselor and ask him/her to send an email for you.
Because, admission staffs usually don’t bother to reply to the students’ emails. but then they WOULD answer the counselors’ one. no?

I heard last year Emory accepted NO ONE from its wait list which is frustrating.
But the year before, it accepted 100. ( out of 700 i think? ) 1/7 chance to get in or 0%.

Instead of talking about your background, I think it would be better to talk about how involved you are (at school), how motivated you are, how the university interests you.

good luck!
Emory is still my first choice too. Let’s hope the RD applicants decline their offers from Emory! haha.
