Being placed on a wait list can feel like a defeat, but don’t lose hope! There are still active steps you can take while the AdCom comes to a decision. If you’ve made educational or career progress since your application, updating the AdCom is a great way to show your commitment and potential.
Whether it’s retaking exams to improve your test scores, being given a new title or new responsibilities at work or even showing initiative by visiting the school campus and meeting students and administrators, your efforts could be that final push the AdCom needs to get you off the wait list and into your dream school.
