How To Win The College Waitlist Game 

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

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

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 RU-vid. Very informative. A must-watch for anyone who is waitlisted.

This was truly informative.. thanks.

I am a parent. This was great! Thank-you.

Great video! Thank you for putting this out here, Chris. I love how Debra explained the subject matter with clarity.

Very useful information!!! Thank you!

Thanks for this Chris! This was truly amazing

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

GREAR INTERVIEW!! THANK U!!!

I truly appreciate this.

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?

Useful

Waitlisted at NYU, Rory Meyers 😭😭😭 I hope I get in. Pray to the lord!!!

Also thanks Chris!!

Great interview!!!! Thank you

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?

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?

My goodness, liven it up a bit would ya?

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

should you email your admissions officer weekly or regularly?

12:33 Whoah, that's brutal. US elitism and bigotry I guess.
