How to Get Off the Waitlist in 2023. Historical Odds, College Admissions Tips

[@SupertutorTV]

Blog that goes w/ this video FULL STATS for nat'l universities ranked 1-70. supertutortv.com/college/how-to-get-off-the-waitlist-2023/ -- note if a school isn't here they likely do NOT release data. That means you might have a shot-- the less they reveal the more likely they are to admit from a waitlist

Hey Brooke! I was just admitted to two of my dream schools, Brown and Rice, and I want to thank you for all the guidance you've given me throughout high school. It has been invaluable!

[@hadsalive34]

Congratulations!!!!!🎉

[@jannamohamed2568]

hi! I was waitlisted at Rice, if you aren't going, please state that so the people on the waitlist can get a chance 😊

With all your help throughout the years, I got accepted into UMICH at Ann Arbor. Thank you so much ma’am !!

[@gheller2261]

Congratulations. I attended UM and loved every minute. That said, if you are not from Michigan I honestly do not believe it is worth the money. If you or your parents need to go into a lot of debt for you to attend, I would suggest thinking a lot about your other options.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help! I got into Northwestern, CMU, and Tufts!

Easiest way to get into ucla or cal is the juco route. Much much easier as juco competition is easy. Low brow students attend. I was a major stoner in hs and went juco for obvious reasons. Aced most my class and got a BS from ucla. Went to med school. Now i am operating on you guys. Lol. This country is the place you get so many chances to attend college. ‘Merica!!!

They do not release any waitlist data, but as I’d like to say, I definitely hear stories of people getting off their waitlist. Usually when people don’t share it’s possible they are using it extensively

I have different advice - get excited about one of the schools that accepted you, commit there and forget about wait lists. No reason to continue the stress of college admissions and choose a place that already told you that they want you. Sometimes we don't get everything we want and that's okay.

Hey Brooke! I just got waitlisted for Harvard and am writing my LOCI. I've read on IvyCoach that, if I can get my counselor to submit academic/extracurricular updates via e-mail, then I should minimize the "bragging" and focus on why I like the school. Should I lean towards a "love letter" or also insert material updates?

[@SupertutorTV]

To me the best loci makes a point -- here’s why I’m a great candidate OR here is my weakness but look I’m improving- this is how I bring something unique to campus- this is how I plan to change the world- typical counselors’ updates don’t necessarily have a point beyond sharing facts - I find the best LOCI makes a case. Love letters don’t impress me much esp w Harvard (Harvard thinks almost everyone loves them… )

@@SupertutorTV Ok thank you! I'm trying to take this opportunity to write the "Why Harvard?" essay that the application never afforded me space to include, but now I'll try to work in some updates as well.

Hello Brooke! I’ve been watching you vids for a while and have just one quick question about LOCIs that I couldn’t find anywhere else on the internet. So unfortunately, I accidentally sent a LOCI to Northwestern that was about 800 words (my rough draft). I submitted the wrong document and Im planning on asking them to remove it from my admissions file. Should I do this? And will this affect my admissions chances off the waitlist? Thank you so much!!!

[@SupertutorTV]

How bad is it? You can try? Obviously it’s better to send a letter once and not be high maintenance about things. But if the letter isn’t that great then a better letter is better.

[@pi6019]

@@SupertutorTV I thought the letter was pretty good but I read online that LOCIs shouldn’t exceed 500 words. Is it worth it to try to resubmit it? Thanks!

[@aartirawat4306]

Hey Brooke, Can you publish some stats on why there were such High Rejection rates across Ivies and other schools for 2023? Which race/country were rejected the most is it finqncial aid ? v/s accepted the most. This year 2023 there were oddly very high amount of rejections, please help throw some light on it. Thanks

[@SupertutorTV]

This kind of data only comes out if colleges are sued -but the answer is pretty simple: test optional= more students who think they have a chance at a school equals more rejections - and then the students hear horror stories at their high school and are worried and then apply to more schools even if they’re including test scores because suddenly hi stats kids are getting beat out by kids with wow factors and there’s just less space.
