WAITING LIST… ARE YOU CURRENTLY ON A WAITING LIST FOR COLLEGE? If so, you MUST let the College Office know - IN PERSON - what school you are on the waitlist for. We need to send your 3rd Quarter grades, but will not do so, if you do not notify us. Please be sure that all grades are correct before making this request. When maintaining your spot on the waitlist – it is a good idea to write a letter to the school reiterating your interest and letting them know why you think you are a good match. In addition to current grades, you could send a graded paper to show them the caliber of work you are capable of. If you have any additional test scores or letters of recommendation you can also send copies of those. Please remember, you must make a decision to attend a school you have been admitted to and make a deposit (non-refundable) by May 1st as there are no guarantees that you will be admitted off a waitlist. Also, it is important to be aware that at many schools, students who are admitted off a waitlist receive limited financial aid.
