Vanderbilt Waiting List (help!)

[res2135]

I was put on the waiting list for Vanderbilt for Fall 2010, and I'm not sure what to do to get myself off of it. I'm going down to visit in two weeks during one of their scheduled visiting times (they included a letter telling me how and when to come visit to "decide" for the fall). While I'm there I'm scheduled to meet with the Director of Graduate Studies, the Director of Clinical Education and a professor. I'm assuming they'll interview me, but other than that I'm not sure what to do to help myself!

I'm not a communication disorders major right now- I'm a linguistics major (school barely even offers that major much less CD), so I haven't been able to do any kind of SLP work yet. I have been a pre-test counselor for HIV tests at my school, and I was thinking of getting my supervisor to write a letter of rec for me about that, saying I'm good with patients or something, but do you think that would help?

Other than that, what should I do? And does anyone have any idea how long the waitlist is at Vanderbilt or my chances of getting in? I know they only admit around 32 people a year and only around 16 enroll...so I imagine the waitlist can't be more than like five people, right?

Help! This is my absolute top choice and I'm moving to Nashville this fall anyway because my significant other is going to a master's program there this fall, so I really want to get in!
