Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 There's a big difference between Cox and those schools your waitlisted at. Cox isn't even Top 50 in the latest rankings-- that's a lot of money to fork over for that caliber degree. Not saying you can't be successful there but your obviously close at the other schools which will serve you much better off in the long run. I'd consider waiting to re-apply or get off the WL. If you're trying to work in the US, can Cox provide that opportunity? You can likely get off WL by bumping your score. If not, an additional year of work experience and a re-applicant status will likely get you in at some of those schools next year at the very least. Good luck (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Didn't try NUS or HKUST because my thought is to work in the US and have an education that is different culturally. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Thanks for all the advice. Other than bumping up my score, is there anything else that I can do to get off thr WL? (0)
