<p>I was wait listed at Brown University this year and I’m currently in Boston visiting the schools I did get into. Would it be a bad idea to stop by Brown admissions on the way home (it really is on the way, I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t) and drop off a letter of intent and ask a couple questions that their wait list Q&A didn’t answer? Or would that be taken in a bad light?</p>
<p>I dont think it could hurt, waitlists are tough so dont get your hopes up</p>
<p>Ik : / I’m being realistic and trying to get excited about the schools I did get into. But Brown is also my first choice and I know that I wouldn’t be happy with myself if I was passive through the whole process.</p>
<p>Go for it(: it won’t hurt u and it may show ur interest on the school.</p>

<p>I agree, it can’t hurt. I would suggest calling in advance to see if they would be willing to set up an appointment to speak to you. But I agree, don’t get your hopes up. Many amazingly qualified candidates don’t get into Brown for one reason or anyother (I know of some myself). Spend most of your time focused on the choices you have and find a school where you will be happy.</p>
<p>I agree with those who say it probably wouldn’t hurt, but after you make the stop you should forget about Brown and get ready for your choice from the schools that admitted you. If Brown ever gets you off the waitlist, you can start thinking about it. But for now it would be better to move on and focus on the real choices in front of you.</p>
