How to get yourself off the post-II waitlist?

[coffeeandteadoctor]

Any tips or advice about this will be greatly appreciated. I know letter of intent helps, but how to write such a strong letter. Also, will getting a new LOR help? - Like from your new research PI?

I feel like this cycle will involve a lot more people being put on waitlists due to the rule change. I am currently on 6 post-II waitlists right now so hopefully, there's going to be a good deal of movement later in April/May.

The 2018-2019 cycle is going to get turned upside down
If you search rule change, you will get lots of hits

One more glowing LOR isn't going to help. Patience is a virtue.

LOI????

The best way off a waitlist requires two steps:

1.) Be a strong enough applicant such that you are high on said list.
2.) Wait.

Regular LOI? Psh. That's so 2018. You wanna get off the wait list? Send a singing telegram of your new accomplishments.

Send a notarized affidavit claiming your promise to attend the school should they accept you. LOIs aren't binding, but now you have penalty of perjury backing up your promise.

also blood sacrifices can't hurt.
