Summary

Description
English: A letter from the admissions department of Lafayette College, in Easton Pennsylvania, to a prospective student (name removed), informing him or her of being offered a spot on their waitlist. Colleges use waitlists to hedge their bets, uncertain about how many students who have been offered admission will accept admission, and drawing applicants from the waitlist pool when vacancies open. This particular applicant had 790math, 800verbal, 680writing SATs and was in the top 10% of the class but did not show much demonstrated interest in attending, so it is a good idea for prospective applicants to visit the college, make contact with admissions officials, show up at college fairs, and do other things to convey a sincere desire to attend a college. Though, if you do not have a possibility to visit college you may send a confirmation letter assuring you will attend this specific college; it might be a good idea even if you aren't sure yet to display ancipitation towards the academic year start (source: http://www.buythesisonline.org)
