Got put on the MIT Sloan waitlist. Anything I should do beyond submitting a note of continued interest and getting someone to submit a strong letter of support?

Send them a quick note that confirms your spot on the waitlist and shows that you are still interested in Sloan. An additional letter of support can help, but too many extra updates or support letters could backfire. Schools are still dealing with Round 2 interviews and don’t want to be overwhelmed/pestered.
