    10:26 1. Do what they ask
    12:20 2. Don't be ridiculous
    13:32 3. Reach out to the rep
    14:26 4. Deposit somewhere else
    16:21 5. Ask about admission in January or the following September
    18:44 6. Play the waiting game well

    One of the most informative and helpful explanations of how waitlists works. Will change how I advise students. Thank you!

    One of the best videos on CZcams. Very informative. A must-watch for anyone who is waitlisted.

    100% there is income bias there, they will deny it but it’s real.

    Hey thanks for the video, one thing I was wondering was if like she said they don't review our letters till may, does it make any sense to send them earlier in march? or should we wait till closer to when they review them. thanks

    Hello I have a question, what if we don’t have a representative at our school on the behalf of the school that waitlisted us? Will contacting the admission office be safe?

    I feel, as a parent, that it is income based. We applied to a private high school and have been waitlisted. Everything looked good to us, extra curricular activities, essays, letters of recommendation, grades, scores, etc...Do you think we can update the income part of the application and increase monthly payments? Would they see it or is it too late?

  • @nickfan1236

    it is mentioned that we should ask for admission in January or for the following year if rejected, but when should we do this? after getting rejected from the waitlist or before? please answer.

    Since legacies are ig placed on there to get let down lightly, do they still have the same chance as everyone else to get off?

    Stanford tells waitlisted applicants “to please refrain” from sending letters and recommendations and to just instead reply to the waitlist offer and send some optional updates. Should I still contact my regional rep or nah

    • @collegementorchris3665

      The video makes clear that above all else you should do as the college says. So when someone say refrain ... refrain.
