USnews教你如何Waitling List转正，亲身试验成功，造福大家~~

团团qu米国

刚看到帖子里回复里面有人问，被WL了怎么能争取转正。目前好多小盆友都是人手几个WL吧，又抱着希望又很着急。我就在这里跟大家说一下目前了解到的一些小方法吧。 露珠用了其中几个，被转正了。。。虽然不一定是这个起了作用，但是尝试一下总归不是坏事情。

其实，如果被放到WL，就意味着还有可能被录取。但是，可能同时有很多人被放到WL，所以即使有人拒掉空出位子了，也不一定是你的。所以现在我们所能做的，就是用恰到好处的方式给director留下深刻印象，争取被排在WL名单的TOP1......

然后。。。。嘿嘿。。。就每天拜佛祈祷有人拒掉它就好了。。。。因为你已经是TOP1了。。。

How to Handle Being Wait-Listed for Graduate School
http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/graduate-school-road-map/2013/02/22/how-to-handle-being-wait-listed-for-graduate-school

我简单贴上来几条中国人用得到的：

1. Don't assume you are going to be denied:

2. Make sure you follow instructions:

（1）. Solicit and accept feedback like a professional:

（2）. Mount a letter of recommendation campaign: This is the time to have two or three additional individuals write recommendation letters for you, or for some of your original recommenders to write again. Send at most three or four letters of recommendation at this point. More is overkill.

3 .Be cautiously creative: Some wait-listed applicants send a two- or three-minute DVD, poem, E-card or a "Top 10 Reasons Why I Should be Admitted" list. Please do not do all of these for the same institution! Choose one, and avoid sending the following.

4. Write a thank-you note: You should send a confidential, hand-written note to the person who signed your notification letter a few weeks before you expect a final decision. Indicate your level of interest in this program, and mention that you have responded as requested to your wait list status. End the note by thanking this person for the time and attention he or she has given and will give to your application. If this graduate school is your top choice, it is appropriate to indicate that you will enroll if admitted.

Lz感觉呢，就中国人来讲，补发推荐信这一块一定要去做，让推荐人再发一封邮件给学校不是什么麻烦的事情。最好是1封是申请该所学校推荐人补发的，1封是新找一个推荐人。2个就够了。。More is overkill.

然后自己一定要写一封感人肺腑的邮件，不要急于说自己多么多么优秀。
先是表达：1. 对被放在WL表示理解，毕竟申请人数众多。 2. 但是你很高兴There is still hope.
然后简单说一下，能怎么contribute到这个项目。（个人觉得不要说10 reasons why I should be admitted 比较好？总之大家见仁见智吧）。。

最后说，这从始至终都是你的dream program，如果被录，一定一定会去的。。。当然，如果不是你的dream的话没必要这样说。。。

如果有条件的话，可以把刚才的email手写一封，快递寄过去。。。有可能这封手写的根本到不了director手里，但是一旦她看到了，会对你印象颇深吧。。。zzzzz

最后祝大家都被心仪的学校转正~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
