<p>As someone who was in almost the exact same position as you last year, I can say that there’s not much else you can do at this point other than just wait it out. Waitlist acceptance varies from year to year, but just know that, statistically, your chances aren’t going to be very high. </p>
<p>Your plan is a good one, though. I’d also contact your admissions officer at each school; if there’s anything significant that’s come up since submitting your application (awards, etc.), make sure to send an update and request that they add the new information to your file.</p>
<p>There’s also some pretty good advice from last year on the parents’ forum here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1117842-classof-2015-waitlisted.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1117842-classof-2015-waitlisted.html</a></p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
