What should my child do if they are waitlisted for college?

Though it can be frustrating, being waitlisted is not a rejection; approval is still possible. Your child should first send a letter of ongoing interest stressing any recent accolades or honors since they applied and reaffirming their passion for the university. Urge them to learn about the waitlist system of the institution in order to grasp their chances of admittance. They should also review their accepted offers and start getting ready for a different strategy at the same time. Whether the waitlist results show or not, depositing at another institution guarantees they have a slot secured. Remind them that success is about what they create of their college experience, not only where they attend; they have great chances anywhere they go.
