What's up, everyone? I might end up on the Tulane waitlist, so I wanted to know if any of you have had experience with this situation? If so, any tips on increasing my chances of getting off the waitlist? Thanks for sharing!
Hey there! I can understand how being waitlisted might be stressful, but there are a few things you can do to improve your chances of getting off the Tulane waitlist.
Firstly, make sure you reply to Tulane confirming your interest in remaining on the waitlist. This demonstrates your continued enthusiasm for the school.
Next, write a Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI). In this letter, briefly express your gratitude for Tulane's consideration and your strong desire to attend. Highlight any recent achievements, honors, or aspects of your application you didn't cover before, like improved grades or new extracurricular accomplishments. Be genuine and specific about why Tulane is the right fit for you. Make sure your LOCI is well-written, concise, and error-free.
Don't forget to stay in contact with Tulane's admissions office, but don't overdo it. Instead, maintain a professional and respectful approach. If you have any significant updates or have questions, feel free to reach out.
Lastly, build connections and network. Connect with current Tulane students, alumni, or faculty members if possible, and engage in conversations about their experiences or insights. This will not only demonstrate your interest but also help you learn more about what Tulane has to offer.
Keep in mind that there are no guarantees when it comes to waitlists, but being proactive and taking these steps can show Tulane you're committed and may improve your chances. Good luck!
