Get Me Out of the Economy
Member
So, I'm waitlisted at USC screenwriting. It is certainly my top choice. I'm getting ready to send the form that lets them know I'm still interested but I'm wondering if those who have gotten in off of waitlists in the past can offer any guidance about anything else that can be done. Or if I shouldn't do anything.
My first instinct is to include a brief note that reiterates how much I want to go there and mentions one or two significant achievements that have occurred since I mailed in the app, plus possibly an additional letter of rec. Then maybe polite phone calls every 3 weeks? I'm also going to be in LA in April - should I try to schedule a meeting with someone there? I feel like I'm being waterboarded by the admissions committee here.
Do I even have a prayer?
Help! Thanks!
