•hey heddart, congrats on the columbia acceptance, mind if i ask if you did anything for your waitlist; letters, phone calls, etc?
if frantz ever communicated with you, did he ever allude to your chances?
thanks and congrats!•••••I wrote to him twice - once in late March, and once just last week (both handwritten notes, for what that's worth). I made it pretty clear that Columbia was my top choice and that, if accepted, I'd withdraw from all other places, etc etc. After my first letter, I was surprised to get a short, typed response from Frantz thanking me for writing, and telling me that, when the waitlist started moving, I would have "a very good" chance of getting accepted. Also, when I talked to him yesterday, he briefly referenced tha letter I wrote last week, so he seems to like lots of communication. Hope this helps!
