亲爱的同学,如果有很好的学校把你放在了waitlist,先不要苦恼,
你有几件事情可以做,比如:
首先感谢学校审理的辛苦!
给学校发封邮件,要求到场面试或者Skype面试;
后来出的新成绩或做的一些比较好的事可以写一写,比如:
最近做了什么课题,去哪实习了,或者哪科哪科成绩出来了,成绩很好什么的,或者后来又考了新的G或T的成绩等等!
以下是一个非常好的例子,可以借鉴一下~
Dear Sir or Madam,
This is an international applicant named XXX, and my application reference number is XXX. Currently, I am put in the waitlist.
I am writing to update some news about my application.
Just as I have mentioned in my PS, I took many MOOC classes in the past three years. Aside from programming skills, MOOC classes like Data Science and Machine Learning on Coursera.org also taught me data analysis and visualization skills. Recently, I independently created NYC Real Estate Market Price Estimator, a Shiny app that helps users to evaluate the market price of any property of interest in the range of New York City. The estimator uses linear regression and KNN models trained with NYC real estate transaction records in the past two and a half years.
Here is the link to the project

In order to further strengthen my quantitative background, I have signed up for non-degree study at SUNY OPEN, an online education platform of SUNY system that offers online and in-person credit-bearing courses. I plan to take classes of Calculus III, Linear Algebra, and Statistics during the summer term from May to July. I will earn 12 undergraduate credits if I pass all of them. While I already passed those classes on MOOC platforms, I believe taking them again in a more rigid style definitely puts me in better preparation for an MS program.
With these updates being said, I am wondering if I may have a chance to get an in-person or Skype interview with you by which you can know me more than just by paperwork. I live in NYC, and I am happy to pay a visit to your beautiful campus. Of course, if you feel that a visit is not any convenient for you, I also appreciate much for a Skype meeting with some of you.
I sincerely hope that I could get the rare opportunity to attend this dreaming program, and I am really looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much!
All the best
XXX
