Waitlisted- Should you follow-up?

[Dutt0058]

Just curious about peoples opinions on if you should contact the school or schools you are wailisted at. Is it better to just let it be or do you think you should email them thanking them for the opportunity to still be in consideration? Any thoughts?

Personally, I would wait until around April 15. That seems to be the deadline for most schools on acceptances, so they're probably really busy until then. Sending them something around that time will show your interest in the program, and will also be close to the deadline for acceptances/time for waitlists to be utilized. Most schools do have a set rank of who falls where on the waitlist, but It can't hurt your chances to be proactive about their program! That's just my opinion.
