1st Waitinglist MIT AeroAstro/CSE， 如何应对？

没有被拒确实很激动，可以视为人生的高光时刻了，不过希望能够最终拿到offer。
同时申请了MIT的CSE项目和AA系（还申请了ME，目前没结果）。Gradcafe上讨论说MIT的AA大概在3.1出结果，今早果然收到邮件，在Waitinglist里面。之前发了套磁邮件但是没有回复。

We are honored by your interest in the MIT AeroAstro/CSE graduate program. Admission to our program is highly competitive with roughly 12% of applicants being admitted and many very strong applicants being turned down. Your application for admission to our department's graduate program has been placed on an unranked wait list with approximately 60 others. Being placed on the wait list indicates that faculty are interested in working with you on your graduate studies, however, based on our estimated acceptance rate of admission offers, we do not believe we will have an opening for you at this time. Given the uncertainty on the exact number of admitted students that will accept our offer of admission, we do place a small number of applicants on the wait list.

I am sorry that we cannot predict the final outcome of your application for admission at the present time. As the situation evolves, we may admit students from the wait list, and that could happen any time from now until the end of May. We will notify all wait-listed applicants of a final decision no later than June 1, 2018.

想问下有经验的前辈们，这种情况下我应该怎么做？
是不是需要等到有人拒了Offer我才有希望？
那等待的时候我应该做什么，套磁吗？我前期联系的那个老师一直不回复，是不是应该换一个导师再问问？

刚才给小秘回了邮件，附上了我更新的CV，希望能够有所帮助。

AA的话，导师权力很大的，如果有老板有位置和钱并想招你，那么WL转正还是很容易的...

谢谢大神！今天发邮件问了小秘，他说我现在AA和CSE都在waitinglist里面，但是CSE转正的几率比较大。我不太了解CSE的模式，是不是一样需要提前有老师？而且我前期联系的最对口的老师，发了两次邮件没有回复，我也在犹豫是否继续发，但是换了人感觉也不太好，毕竟两个项目都写的他。

那可能还是再等等他比较好，我们其实可以私聊

好的，感谢，已私信！

补充一下，3.21被MIT的ME据了，而且AE和CSE项目里面最想去的老师告诉我她要去UT Austin了，所以不打算招生，MIT基本梦碎。
